Kingman Kansas

I've got family there. Do we need to compare notes?

Leave tracks. You might be surprised at who follows.....

Dad a cattle ranch foreman's son. They attended Kingman High School a long
long time ago. My uncle John quit Kingman High to go to the Marines,
returned to Kingman High afterwards, wounded at Iwo Jima. My granddad owned
the only laundry in town until his death in 1953. John ran it for another 5
years after that. I was born there but my parents moved to Hutch when I was
a month old. No connections anymore.
If your family is "old family", they might have heard of my family.

What part of Hutch?
My grandparents lived off of Apple Lane on the Northeast side, near
the Air Port...
Gmother taught at Buehler Elementary for many years, and both were big
in the Scouts.
Interesting...

Old family. Goes back to the 1880s at least. Hutchinson, Newton, McPherson, and
a whole lot of little Kansas towns.

East B Street 1939-43. Chemical Street 1943-48. Moved to Leavenworth, lived
there 48-50 when my dad was called back into the Army for the Korean War. I
was in the 6th grade, military brat from then on. Returned to Hutch for one
year while dad was in Korea. Lived 1/2 block from Plum, can't remember name
of street, might have been 3rd.

I think you're talking about Hutch and not Kingman? Kingman to Buehler
would be quite a commute.

My share of the "old Kansas" is more from the Ashland Community out
side of Manhattan...have a bunch of folks buried there...and my
parents were married in the White Church, same as my maternal
Grandparents...
The Shoe
suits for prisoners with striped ones. The prisoners and the ACLU don't
like the new (old) fashion for cons.
The Shoe
Kansas City when I lived in Dallas, Texas. The client allowed me, several
times, to rent a car and drive to Kansas City instead of reimbursing me for
air fare. My Beloved rode with me. We always stopped in Hutch and Salina to
visit family. One day I noticed that I was low on gasoline so I left the
major highway, took a back road of sorts to Inman. I was driving a very
sporty, bright red Thunderbird. I found one gas station, pulled in. I
noticed that the streets were deserted. My Beloved and I decided to have
lunch at a little diner there. The station attendant allowed me to leave
the car at his place.
In no time at all the Inman streets were full of people. Apparently
somebody had made a phone call and said something to the effect that there
was a real snazzy car in town. Everybody wanted to see it.

Not a TX trait though. Having lived in both NM and AZ for years, where boots
are common as well, I wear them pretty regularly and did before I came to TX.
