Dannye Ryeef McKaig was born December 13, 1942 in Blackwell, OK. His parents are John and Edna McKaig. Dannye was a bonus baby, his brother Carl was 18 and serving in the South Pacific during WW II. His brother Max, was 13 and living at the family home. After returning from the Navy and going home, Carl asked his Mother who is that kid? She replied “well that’s your baby brother”! Around the age of 8, the family moved to Shawnee. Dannye attended Shawnee public schools, graduating with the SHS class of 1960. He attended OSU, for a short time. He decided he wasn’t ready for college, or OSU wasn’t ready for him. He went to work with John in the oilfields as a cable tool dresser. He went on a blind date (although he’d known her since grade school) and immediately fell in love with that gorgeous girl, AKA, Janice Boggs. After a six-week courtship, they married on October 19, 1962. He was welcomed into the rowdy Boggs/Hudspeth clan with open arms. For the first time he met brothers, a sister, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, and more cousins than he could count. And bonus grandparents, Mama and Papa Hudspeth. Jimmy, Ronald and Butch became his chosen brothers, and he loved them dearly. Janice wasn’t happy with his oil field career, for one thing, he was away until the well was completed. Janice had never ever seen anyone come home from work that dirty, covered from hard hat to toe with oil grime and mud. She wasn’t exactly familiar with doing laundry for herself, much less a man that dirty. Tinker Field took up much too much of her time, and she wasn’t that good at homemaking to begin with! Of course, in that era, men didn’t help out with house chores, even if the wife had a career. Different rules were implemented into their young marriage. The husband can help with house chores. She encouraged more education for a different skill set, and Dannye enrolled at OSU tech in Okmulgee. A baby girl, Stacy, joined the McKaig’s in 1963. Dannye and Stacy
