I have been doing Genealogy off an on for 20 years. I have found out things like my Great Great Grandfather dying of a strange disease which turned out to be syphilis. I have found relatives that were slaveholders and even joined the KKK right after the Civil War. I have found Presidents and Senators, Kings and Queens, even a connection to Johnny Cash and June Carter, both. None of it changes who I am or will become. History is only valuable when it provides lessons and lessons are only valuable when they are best on truth. In 1996 and 1998, I was the Republican Nominee for US Congress from this district. My daughter was very proud of that fact. For the past two years I have had a life that is much less prideful. I was sent to prison for failure to pay child support to my son while he was in Basic Training with the National Guard. The state of Missouri sent me notice that I was done paying Child Support as my son had turned 18. They also sent me a copy of the Missouri law on Child Support. It states that Child Support terminates at different events. Number 3 is "enters active duty in the military." Number 5 is turns 18 unless the child enrolls for and completes 12 hours in college. My son enter college on a full ride scholarship after he was done with basic training. He enrolled in 13 hours but did not go to class and therefore did not complete anything. The judge ruled that the National Guard is not Military Service but is just a part time job. He did not care to listen to my argument that enrolling in class but not going does not meet the law. As I am not a lawyer, I was handcuffed and lead off to prison. My name has been totally destroyed here but my daughter is still proud of me and I have left lots of records for the following generations to find. My case is now on appeal, I am very tired and I get depressed thinking about how this has changed my life. I was a bank President. Now I work in a warehouse. But I have a loving family. Some of whom, like you, I have never met. Do not be embarrassed about your families past, you, you all, have a great future. Jeff Bailey, Gladstone, Missouri.
