Enid native Harold T. Holden will be inducted into the Hall of Great Westerners at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum’s annual Western Heritage Awards next month.

There are more than 200 men and women honored within the Hall of Great Westerners.

After graduating from Enid High School, Holden attended Oklahoma State University and graduated from Texas Academy of Art in Houston. He served with the Navy during Vietnam aboard the U.S.S. Rainier, and eventually became a professional fine artist.

The observatory atop Enid High School was erected in 1963, the only one of its kind in Oklahoma. It was funded by a government program put into place to keep the U.S. competitive with the Soviet Union in the early years of human space exploration.

On Tuesday, February 28, the venue was re-dedicated as the Dr. Nancy Currie-Gregg Observatory at Enid High School. As a NASA astronaut, Currie-Gregg is a direct descendent of the “Space Race.”
