A scent of Ada history - thanks to Ray Mumma

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, May 11, 2015

Ray Mumma holds a pipe confiscated from the KISS dressing room when the Rock N Rollers performed at ONU 40 years ago.

Ray said the dressing room smelled of marijuana, the pipe smelled of marijuana, so he confiscated it.

The pipe sat on a shelf in the police department in Ada for many years. Ray was a patrolman at the time, later to become police chief, now retired after 32 years on the force. (Monty Siekerman)
