We only planned one stop on our way from McCook, Nebraska to Independence, Missouri. It was the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site in Topeka to get Kent's National Parks Passport Book stamped. Please note that Kent is not about to go too far off the beaten track. Besides, Ms. Garmin really lets you know when you are not following her travel itinerary! After checking into the Residence Inn in Independence and having some great barbecue, we visited with some friends, Richard and Mickey Olsen and later, Kent bought a pair of shoes at Bass Pro.

Visited with friends, Othei and Kenneth Davidson at their new home and had lunch with Jay Turner at Corner Cafe. Checked out Lakewood and our previous home and went to Independence Center where we bumped into Kimberly Bean. In the evening we attended a program at the Community of Christ (RLDS) Auditorium by the American Rhythm Dance Company. Twilla Mann and Lianne Ames, both formerly of Independence and now of Idaho and Utah, are co-directors. Their group of talented and energetic cloggers, musicians, singers and dance students were on a tour to Omaha, Neb., Nauvoo, Ill. and Branson, Mo., etc. After their performance the city of Independence sponsored the fireworks on the LDS Pageant Grounds, which is next to the Auditorium and the Spirit of Independence Band played patriotic songs during the fireworks. Also saw Larry and Dee Nicholson; they had their Hawaiian Ice stand set up at the Stake Center. That is always a favorite treat. Said 'hi' to lots of good friends.
