The Highway of Holiness – The Sequel

Over the years, OU has been known for excellent sports teams and a graduate program that has turned out a half dozen state senators, several mayors, a candidate for vice president of the United States and some all-American athletes.

However, OU is not without a dark side. There have been several convictions of those involved with gambling, drugs, stealing and contract killings who have spent time at OU. Some were graduates and just got involved with the wrong people. Others went astray early on.

Some of them turned their lives around. Keith was one of those. He joined David at OU.

David remembers his coach from high school, who shows up on his doorstep at OU one day. David was able to help him as well as another local four-year college with a need.
