I live in Oregon, yet, I am concerned and care about the weather destruction in all of Lawrence Co, Mo. Especially, concerned of the genealogy records, personally, connected to this area. Ken and Pat Ackley, of Verona, Mo 65769, have spent many personal hours of their time to record and document families of the Lawrence Co, Mo area. They are volunteers to the Lawrence Co Historical area, building bookshelves, personally recording headstones engravings, plus, now placing all info on CD for OUR future generations. -- The destruction of Pierce City, Mo, their historical buildings, and their info-structure, an emotional trama to many of the local residents. They care for their town history and family history, just as I do. -- I have contacted cousins in Atchison, Ks, and, and they, too, were concerned for the weather destruction in Piece City, Mo. Ken Ackley gives.
