How wonderful to open the Tulsa World and read the gracious remarks from Mayor G.T. Bynum and Mayor-elect Monroe Nichols on Nov.
6. (" G.T.
Bynum welcomes his successor Monroe Nichols to City Hall," Nov. 7, and " Tulsa mayoral transition a shining example of transfers of power ," Nov. 10).
Thank you to both elected mayors for taking the high road in the transition and their gracious attitude toward mayoral candidate County Commissioner Karen Keith. I believe she would have done the same. The tone of the article and column reminded me why some newcomers to Tulsa comment on how Tulsans are “nice.
” As a fourth-generation Tulsan, I appreciate the compliment for our city, but it worries me that we are singled out for kindness compared to wherever the newcomers left. People are also reading..
