I meet barry in front of this little house. Yep, this is it his strange inheritance.

Population roughly 50,000. Right here in enid, they have the Third Largest Storage Capacity for grain on the planet. But wedged in between enids silos lies the tale of a cantankerous legend who left his grandchildren with a very strange inheritance. My name is stuart piontek, and in 2003, my brothers and sisters and i inherited something pretty unusual from my grandfather. His name was oliver jordan, and he died at 95. He was a child of the dust bowl. Grandpa would hold on to just about everything that passed through his life, whether it was a tin can, an automobile, a piece of copper wire.

Like the character he plays, cox can be fearsome and forthright on everything from scottish politics. We have been treated so badly time and time and time and time again. To his fellow actors, michael caine. The winner of numerous awards for his performances on stage and screen, hes a master of his craft. Now in his mid 70s, cox is at the height of his powers creatively and the height of his anger politically. Its very, very good to see you.
