OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Gov. Brad Henry's winning streak in the annual veterans domino competition at the state Capitol has ended at one.
Darrel Dooley, 81, and Charles Caton, 82, took about 30 minutes to beat Henry and former Gov. George Nigh in the best-of-3-match on Monday. The pair from the Norman Veterans Center beat domino players from the other veterans centers in the state earlier in the day.
Dooley, of Oklahoma City, and Caton, of Shawnee, said they joined the military in 1947. Dooley served in the Air Force and Caton was in the Army.
Nigh started the annual tournament 30 years ago when he was governor.
