No, I haven't seen them. I'm sure Columbia has ILL with KC and/or Mid-Continent. Or I could wait until I'm going to be in KC for a few days and check them out to look at while I'm there. I usually stay with a friend who grew up in Liberty. We could spend hours looking at them together - more fun that way. Thanks for the tip! V
