Some days it is hard to get out of bed. The weather is too hot. The day is too long. Mary Fallin is still governor. So to make your work week a little more hopeful, I have compiled a list of inspirational figures whose plights have paved the way for generations of Oklahomans to come. If they made it in life, you can make it to work on time. Or at least make it to work with a clean shirt. Here are 10 Oklahoma Heroes you should be looking up to.

Linda Cavanaugh

Linda Cavanaugh is the first female co-anchor of KFOR’s evening news and has won many journalism awards, including one for diplomatic reporting in the USSR. She is often found seated next to one of the found Ogles. She is an Oklahoma Hero because she was the first female to prove she is as capable as a man when it comes to presenting nightly on who was found dead in Walmart and whatever antics our esteemed governor is up to.
