My wife accused me of being unsympathetic, so I bought her a GI Joe coloring book.

Now she'll always have a soldier to crayon.

 

Today we are discussing The GI Joe Repair Shop and Museum in Lone Wolf, Oklahoma.

The GI Joe Repair Shop and Museum in Lone Wolf is a specialty shop and museum dedicated to the repair, display and resale of vintage GI Joe action figures.

The Kiowa County community of Lone Wolf is situated nine miles west of Hobart on State Highways 9 and 44. Lone Wolf's main street, State Highway 9, intersects with State Highway 44 on the town's eastern edge. Lone Wolf is located about six miles east of the North Fork of the Red River and the Kiowa-Greer county line. The Texas and Oklahoma Railroad runs in a northeasterly direction through town.  Lone Wolf was founded upon the opening of the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache Reservation in August 1901. Established along the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway, the settlement was quickly populated and named for Kiowa Chief Lone Wolf. The community's first business was a restaurant operated by Mark Sauerberg and his partner, Hance Van Rankin. Chief Lone Wolf and his wife and son were their first customers.
