DID I UNDERSTAND THE ELMDALE CEMETERY HAD VANDALISM??????????
The one in Chase county????????
I’d guess that it’s one in/around Osawatomie.
Grady Atwater with a masters! And to think he was just a little kid, Lisa and Lori’s little brother. Who’dda thunk he’d a growd up so much! I’m glad he is taking care of the cabin, he was always a kind soul and he’ll do a great job.
Darn I meant to come over for this! I had a headache and forgot! Dang it ! Stupid headaches!!! Did anyone go? How was it?
