June 12, 2012 Dick, Nancy, Rob, Kathleen, Chuck and I met in Kansas City - rented a mini-van and hit the trail to view all of our old stomping grounds from growing up in the Independence and Leeton area - we had soooo much fun. A highlight was attending a session together of the newly dedicated Kansas City Temple. The list the next three days included the Liberty Jail, Independence Chapel site and accompanying surroundings, our homes we had lived in on 35th street, Woodland and Grand. William Chrisman High School where we all graduated and many familiar things around Independence. Had lunch at Mugs Up which the Adlards owned for years and Mom had worked as a car hop to help support Dick on his mission We found the building in Warrensburg where we attended a Sunday School above the Masonic Lodge. We drove all around the Leeton and Windsor area checking out High Point Baptist Church, the Phillips 66 pump station where we lived, Valley Grove one room school house that we all attended, Leeton school and drove all the back roads with gorgeous Missouri scenery. We spent a night with Uncle Ron and Aunt Bea in Sedalia and loved visiting with them and seeing the homes in and near Sedalia that Grandma and Grandpa Raymer had lived in, also the first little chapel we attended in Sedalia and then the gorgeous one that Grandpa was very instrumental in getting approved and built that made the church really grow. We had a wonderful few days together and came home totally "remembered out!!"
