Will and Caleb Bates

William and Caleb may not be old enough to help in the business yet, but they remain an important part of it. 

William, born October 3, 1998, is a student in Locust Grove Schools.

He thinks it is “cool” to go to the school his daddy went to.

He plays baseball, football, and wrestles.

Caleb, born February 1, 2001, attended the Cherokee Nation Headstart program near Salina

and is now a student at Locust Grove Public Schools. 

He likes living close to his grandparents and enjoys wrestling (especially with his big brother).

 Will and Caleb have a dog named Max.

Here are some pictures from 2004 and 2005.

Caleb's first haircut by Jody Riley with Pa-Pa Bucky.

Will's favorite barber, Dan "The Man" Cunningham.

While taking some serious family pictures, this one popped up.

Thanks to my old high school and college friend Whitney Scott for being a superb photographer!!
