Found my glasses


They slipped off the cord one time too many - and were trounced by tire after tire in a parking lot. Oh, well.

Mrs. Barnhouse


Alan's teacher this year at West Junior High School is Heidi Barnhouse - she teaches Honors English and works with Alan on all subjects.

On assignment


MU photojournalism senior Charles Luedeke covered the Heartland Chorus from the time they left on a bus from Kansas City to when they appeared in the Rotunda of the State Capital in Jefferson City to the Missouri Theatre evening performance in Columbia. Then he got on the bus to return to Kansas City with the men's chorus.

At the cabin





Chris and I built this cabin some 23 years ago. With no electricity or running water, it's a splendid weekend get-away place.

Rife with sin...






Sunday mornings usually finds me, my wife, Chris, and Roger Pilkenton at Loren Reid's house. He's 104 years old and, yes, still lives at home. Roger administers communion & brief sermon. Loren is always glad to see Roger because he is "rife with sin". After the "service" Chris and I take Loren out to lunch - Steak n' Shake, IHOP, Culver's. Somewhere to get a sandwich and where he can see people.

Snazzy Hat


Snazzy Hat, I said to Bill Nunn. Yes, he said, Joy (Patterson Nunn) gave it to me 60 years ago.
On their way to Calvary Episcopal 10:30 a.m. church services, a "walking portrait."

(Sub)Urban (Wild)Life


Meet Oreo - a rat terrier mix. Hope to be able to show you a picture of her running buddy, Blizzard, but he's oddly camera shy.
