Visited with Mike’s cousin who owns a 320 acre alfalfa farm in Norton Kansas.
Through county records, we found Janet’s grandparent’s marriage certificate and their first home in Phillipsburg Kansas
The memorial to those who died, those who survived and the rescuers from the 1995 Federal Building bombing is incredibly moving. It is a beautiful and sacred place. I am so impressed with the spirit of community in Oklahoma City.

October 24-26 Beaumont, TX
We spent several days is Beaumont. Mike’s cousin lives in Bridge City Texas and was a fabulous host, showing us the sites. We drove over across the border into Louisana to see some of the devestation still left from hurricane Rita (over a year ago). There are still many houses with blue tarps for roofs, many FEMA trailers, an entire beach community washed off it’s foundations.
