I, Mary Fallin, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, hereby direct the appropriate steps be taken to fly all American and Oklahoma flags on State property at half-staff from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 24, 2012, to honor former State Senator Gene Stipe, who died on Saturday, July 21, 2012.
Senator Stipe was first elected to the Oklahoma House of Representative in 1948, making him the youngest Oklahoman to be elected to the House. He was elected to the Senate in 1956. By the time Stipe left his Senate office in 2003, the Democrat from McAlester had served 53 years in the state Legislature, a record that still stands. This executive order shall be forwarded to the Director of Central Services who shall cause the provisions of this order to be implemented by all approriate agencies of state government.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this 23 day of July, 2012.
