Darlene Calip is from Okemah and resides in Sapulpa where she is the girls’ basketball coach at Sapulpa High. Felix Jones is from Tulsa where he graduated from Booker T. Washington and went on to play for the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburg Steelers and resides in Tulsa. He is owner of the Tate Brady mansion. His plans are to refurbish it and make it into a museum. Darlene and Dewey are graduates of East Central University and Felix attend the University of Arkansas. The message to all the young people in attendance they all agreed on was to watch what you put on social media because it will follow you for life, to have a positive attitude about life, most of all be respectful no matter what. The other one was to always have a back-up plan just in case the first one does not work out.
