Some more notes to the "list" that reflect entries that caught my eye. Barry has been very busy and I enjoy all of his items. Two of them below - message #122 had this death announcement for my uncle Mitch. I don't know if Mitch ever had much money ( to speak of) but he always dressed like Beau Brummel. I thought he was probably a millionaire. As of now I suspect he spent a high proportion of his income on clothes. . jack Firstly, from msg #122 found in grandmother West's scrapbook Barry West Brother of Leon Lady Died In Kansas City Mitchell Welling, 63, of 5050 Oak, Kansas City, Mo., known as "Mitch" to his friends in Leon, died last Thursday at St. Luke's Hospital where he had been a patient three weeks.

Interment was made at Maryville at 2:00 p. m., Saturday. Dr and Mrs. C. D. Scott of Leon attended the services. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Secondly, (from a note I had written to the list on 18may2002 - the Dingmans lived south of us on Main Street and, as you can tell from my comment, I thought Milo had artistry to spare. . jack I didn't know Milo Dingman well at all. But he had a talent for carving statues and creating various other kinds of art work. He went to my dad and asked for some dental compounds to do his work in. I think some of them were great! One in particular was the figure of a golfer, club and all. Super talent! I've completely lost track of Milo. I'm sorry.
