There were a number of KIMBALLS, my grandfather's cousins, who settled in the community of Quasqueton, or Quaskie, as many called it. They had the merchants of the community in their family, I understand, and although I have a lot of documentation for the family, it is always great to be able to add more. My Nebraska cousins also include Miss Sharon Kaye Ritchie, a former Miss America, her sister, who was a Miss USA runner-up, and Judy Kimball, great ladies pro golfer. I wish we had some appropriate Nebraska greeting or farewell phrase, but I can close with one my mother used lots in her diary, when she visited Broken Bow in the summer of 1916......"Meet you at the Bow." Thank you for your efforts. Wayne Montgomery
