Nice guy, the studious, brainy type. I haven't seen him since then.
My wife did not remember him, but then she graduated from Truman in 1969.

It's a new year for me yeah

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me

Found this over the CHRISTMAS holiday on the Raytown Historical Society website. Has anyone heard of this place? When I was running late and took the fast route to Ray South, I'd drive from 51st and Noland to Highway 50 (aka Knobtown). So that area to the east that remained pretty much rural bounded by hills to the east, that is Little Blue MO? I think Noland west side bounded the Raytown School District? It is likely in the LSSD, that is if any kids at all lived there.

This would be part of the area for KCIRaceway, which I believe opened around 1966.

On the west side of Noland is long time Farrand Farms, nursery, produce in season, et al. I surprisingly never set foot on its grounds (although I would today) Any one shopped there?

Was there a specialty hospital out that way? Seemed to be, like a mental hospital, maybe back in the hills. Anyone? Much obliged in advance

"The hamlet of Little Blue, Missouri lies in the basin of the Little Blue River between Noland Road, on the west, and Lee's Summit Road, on the east.

The Little Blue is a tributary of the Missouri River and passes through communities large and small from Grandview to Sibley. Traces of many Indian paths cross the river, dating back hundreds, if not thousands of years. The Lewis and Clark Expedition passed the delta of the Little Blue in 1804.

Please click through the photos to learn some of the Little Blue story."

Farrand Farms has cost me a pretty penny over the years, via the Mrs. And then, guess who got to plant and care for all the stuff???? Oh the pain.....THE PAIN.......

We have driven through Little Blue many times. It was a stop on the Missouri Pacific RR, and some of the village is still there. Little Blue Road runs east of Noland just south of Rickey Rd. Little Blue Baptist Church is at the corner. About a quarter-mile east of Noland you'll find the village and RR crossing. Continue E and SE on LB Road and you'll find the former Jackson County Hospital, which became Truman Medical Center East, then Truman Lakewood, now University Health Lakewood.

Apparently someone sold you a defective paper clip. Please reattach the link to the photos.
