POEMS:
Cheryl–just wanted to leave you a note that I enjoyed your article about the western KS drive to Ness City. Had special meaning for me because I went to high school there and lived southwest of Ness. Cousins in Great Bend and went to the Dr. at LaCrosse.
Somehow I came across your websites and several names/places caught my attention…Copt,Lucas KS, Wamego…
I will check out your site more later!!!
Cheryl,
I enjoyed your article about the outhouse tour of Elk Falls. Both of my grandparents owned the grocery store in Elk Falls in the 50’s, my mom and dad both went to school and met going to school there, (they married when they were both 15 and this year they will be married 54 years.), my grandpa is retired from the postal service and did his entire career in that post office, grandma used to take me on picnics, fishing, and to play in the falls at the old iron bridge, and when I go back home to visit my family we still go to church over in Elk Falls.
You are right small towns have to have their own little claim to fame and I am glad that Elk Falls has found theirs.
Keep up the good writings.
