This is interesting- whose lights were extinguished?? surely not the street lights?? At 6:30 pm in April, you ought to be able to see your hand in front of your face. Wonder which Hall they served it in since I can't see preparation of a banquet meal on the streets of KC and serving it to 450 men of the Knights of the Red Cross out of doors?? We really had stellar reporters in those days..and no wonder the newspapers are falling by the wayside these days. In a message dated 1/3/2009 11:30:58 A.M.
