Does anyone know what happened to Butch?  I knew him and Jackie 25-30 years ago.

Marcia, I wondered that too.  We've lost track of Lori over the years.

[Jo McDonald]

Lori lives in Howard  --- she bought the house that George Cox owned on south Walnut.  She  has lived there for quite a lot of years.   
  I owned the lots just joining her on the south and sold them to Joe and Sharon Wagner, and they put in their new home. 
    This is sad to hear of this death.

Thanks Jo, we have often wondered about Lori. We need to stop and see her the next time we are up there. When she was married to Bill Nigh, Myrna and I used to party with them . We went to Wichita and other places dancing. They were a real blast.
We had some really fun times. Scott and Butch were little guys then.
