Before that, other fun things occurred. On the 21st, Gail, the flower girl at our wedding arrived for a week long visit. On the 23rd, Jerry and Shirley drove up from their home in Texas to take part in the festivities. We have known them for a long time. Jerry and I served together at Ft. Hood back in the mid-60's. We also lived next door to each other at Ft. Leavenworth. They are really good friends. We get to spend time with each year at the annual Retired MP Officers Reunion.
Now for some discussion of the following photos.


Neither Gail nor Jerry and Shirley had seen the Buffalo Soldiers Monument on Ft. Leavenworth. It commemorates the service of Negro soldiers during the Westward expansion of the US.



No visit to the Kansas City area is complete without a visit to the Liberty Memorial and the World War I museum. The Liberty Memorial tower is a great place to get some fantastic photos. Here you can see Union Station and the KC skyline. The first photo of Union Station is taken from the foot of the tower.



The trolley ride went over quite well. The narration was well received and the comments added by our driver, Bill, were greatly appreciated.


The tour occurs every Saturday morning at 11:00 AM. There is a slight fee. The tour takes about an hour and is quite interesting.


It took us a couple of months to do the research and write and record the narration.










We strongly urge others to make the trek and take the tour.
