Maybe you know of a few Oklahoma inventions, like the parking meter (boo) or the shopping cart (yea!), but did you know an Oklahoman invented one of the most-beloved and most-hated systems of all? The editors of Oklahoma Today prefer sending texts, but we’ve been known to leave the occasional voicemail, too—and that came from a former Marine pilot and University of Tulsa graduate.
