Ponca City, Oklahoma

In the 1920s, Lew Wentz was the owner of the largest one-man oil company in the world. but to many Ponca City children, he was the anonymous poor people's Santa, known only as "Daddy Longlegs." Generous and concerned, Wentz built the pool and camp that now bear his name and later donated them to the City - insuring a place for swimming and outdoor activities for generations of children to come. Wentz's family? The people on the street. His home? A hotel. His life? Full, rich, and deeply satisfying.
