Community celebrates Patton’s 100th birthday

Body
Longtime Mangum resident and businessman R.L. Patton turned 100 years old on Monday, and family and friends threw a birthday bash for him at the Outside Inn over the weekend. “I knew there was going to be a gettogether,” said Patton, “but I didn’t expect so many people to show up to wish me a happy birthday. It was great time and I appreciate everyone that showed up for my ‘half way to 200 birthday party.” Patton was born on his father’s birthday 100 years ago on Sept. 11, 1923.
