Bill Sherman, grandfather of 12

Michael Overall, father of a toddler

His 4-year-old son will introduce himself to people as “Gavin Jared Overall, My Daddy’s Buddy.” Gavin likes model trains, iPads and sleeping late, except on the weekends, when he likes to get up early. Overall is a general assignment reporter for the Tulsa World city desk.
