The Roundhouse
A lot of people think a railroad is just trains, depots and tracks, but the truth is they consist of many parts, and Sedalia had them all at one time. Some of those parts, unlike the depots and trains, have disappeared completely, and it made me wonder how many people remember those that are no longer here.
March 20, 2013 One of my favorite holidays of the year is Easter. It brings back a lot of great memories. Being an Air Force Brat, I can recall doing a few Easter Egg hunts with the youth center or a few squadron parties or even at the base church. I also have the great memories of waking up on Easter Morning and seeing the eggs hidden around the house or in the backyard if the weather was good.
Tin Cans and the War Effort
In 1944, I attended the first grade at Washington School in Sedalia, Mo. World War II was in full swing. Everywhere you looked there were signs exhorting all Americans to do their part to win the war. The signs warned us to not give away secrets, because "loose lips sink ships," and although I had no idea what secret I might have that would do that much harm, I vowed to keep it to myself anyway.
March 13, 2013 Kids, it's getting to be that time again. If you've got a teenager around in your life, you're probably hearing about the prom. It's a couple of months away now, but of course you've got to do the preparation.
So, the big question is, where can you go to get the dress? Where SHOULD you go? I'll put a few options out here, and then you guys can let me know what you think in our survey.
