Test your Oklahoma knowledge and win prizes by answering our weekly Tuesday Trivia question. Every week, we’ll choose a winner from the correct respondents to receive a prize—from an Okie sticker to a subscription to Oklahoma Today and more.
Maybe you know of a few Oklahoma inventions, like the parking meter (boo) or the shopping cart (yea!), but did you know an Oklahoman invented one of the most-beloved and most-hated systems of all? The editors of Oklahoma Today prefer sending texts, but we’ve been known to leave the occasional voicemail, too—and that came from a former Marine pilot and University of Tulsa graduate.
Which Oklahoman was known as the “father of voicemail”?
