I was editing an obituary Monday when all of a sudden, I realized who it was. I always knew her as Sue Huff Brown. I had never known her to be called Margaret Suzanna Huff Brown. When I was just a little kid, she lived with her parents, George and Clara Huff, about 3⁄4 of

Andy Graves about ruined my lunch last Thursday when he told us that Russ Hayes had passed away that morning. No, I hadn’t heard about the wreck Wednesday morning. It upset me. I liked Russ. He was too nice a guy to have something like that happen. I’d sort of bonded with him after what

You know that I don’t totally trust anything electronic or digital. They are going to fail sometime and usually when you least expect it. Nothing breaks unless your are using it.

At lunch the other day, some of the guys were talking about passport photos the many people may need soon with changes in the ID law. I’ve been doing passport photos for maybe 30 years. Make an appointment with me. $15. Quick turn around. My trip to the goal line a long time before the

Remember when I told you that three big things happened during the Picnic and I only told you two of them? Well, I can tell you the third one now. I’ve forgotten what the first two were in the excitement over this one. Davis, Erica and Ben kidnapped Adrian and Van after they picked them

Saw a piece on TV Thursday evening that was a follow-up on the 15 passenger van wreck on Hwy. 13 that killed three Kansas youth group teens and injured 10 others. The report said that a testing agency has determined that 15 passenger vans are more likely to roll over when they are loaded. If

Last week, I received some info I thought was so important I called El Dorado Springs Fire Chief Bob Floyd and took him a copy of last week’s paper so he could read the article on Page 11 about the danger of grain bins which killed 26 in 2010. There will be a special display
