First Person Summer Series
Features Tom Kight
June 09, 2011
The Memorial Mission Statement describes the Memorial as a place that “. . . should evoke feelings of compassion and hope, and inspire visitors to live their lives more meaningfully.”
Join us this summer for a First Person: Stories of Hope program and hear from people whose stories not only meet that mission, but also allow us to experience history – and the Oklahoma Standard – from those who lived it. The First Person Summer Series, included free with Museum admission, is offered in the Museum’s Center for Education & Outreach on Fridays at 1:30 p.m. from June 3 to August 26.

Tom Kight lost his step-daughter Frankie Merrell in the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. An active grandfather to Frankie’s daughter Morgan, he has been involved in the memorial process since its inception. He attended the trials of both Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols in Denver, and made several trips to New York to assist family members at Ground Zero following the September 11 attacks. Kight serves on the Memorial’s Finance & Investment and Conscience Committees, and volunteers at the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon.
