I was in Howard for the annual Memorial Day ceremonies at the cemetery.

The ceremony was whipped by some high winds that affected the ability to hear the speakers and a sudden rain toward the ending caused some commotion but all in all, a nice ceremony. My estimate was about 125 people attended.

"One of the most expensive county-seat wars in terms of time and money lost..." Dr. Homer E Socolofsky, KSU

I am sorry the weather had to be so bad.  When I was young and was able to be in Howard for Memorial Day, it was always nice weather.  There are so many there who are from my family, including my parents.  Another memory of days gone by.

HELP!  I'm talking and I can't shut up!

I came...  I saw...  I had NO idea what was going on...
