I have always believed in community involvement. Growing up in a small community in Kansas has stayed with me. One day I hope to be involved in that type of community again. God Bless You.

We need to be reminded of the "community" that used to be a normal part of life. We also need to try and determine what exactly killed it and how to bring it back. That is a wonderful idea.

I have started doing some research and hope to post some interesting findings soon. My inlaws had a collection of newspaper clipings from 1874 thru 1880's. Very interesting stuff. The town had an Agriculural Society and its own fair that was as good as the county fair! The paper has the sermon text from a Thanksgiving day sermon and several addresses made to the Ag Soc by the local pastors. It also has hints of troubles that were here as well. A secret society(Order of Good Templars) and other "endarkenment" thinking that was seeping into a christian community. Hi All

Please keep us all posted on your progress. MO. Rev. has a feature that emails me and other readers when he writes a new post. Do you have that capability, and if so, could you put me on your list?

This is the kind of thing that needs to be done more often, especially in America where many just don't seem to care about history. Most of those oldtimers really love to sit down and recall their past, but so many of us "youngins" don't want to take the time to do so. Let me know when/if you need some editing or proofreading. Perhaps I can finally put my journalism degree to some use. :) You have a great idea there, Scott.
