I enjoyed reliving some of them and sorry that a couple of people were offended and left the list. Surprisingly I am still in touch almost daily with some of them and made some new friends. I agree with the person that wrote events in Kansas City of times gone by are integral to the genealogy as to what life was like back then. We happened to live them and they contributed to why we are the person we are today. I decided this was so much fun that I started writing my memoirs. Surprised of what all I do remember. **************Psssst...Have you heard the news? There's a new fashion blog, plus the latest fall trends and hair styles at StyleList.com.
