One reader asked me if there was a way he could help my neighbor whose house burned, and his family (four children). Please don't think I'm soliciting, because I know you all have needs near your own homes; but because it was requested, I'll post this one time.
There is a fund set up at the bank, and if you'd like to contribute, here's the address:
B & L Bank
205 South 13th Street
Lexington, Missouri 64067
Checks should be made out to the Hammond family Relief Fund.

I enjoy reading your journal, mostly, I think, because I have a lot of family ties to Missouri. My father was born and raised in the Ozarks. I was born in Louisiana, Mo ( I love to tell people that. I live in Mississippi. They think I have lost my mind). I love the way Missouri "borrowed" so many names for their towns, such as.... Louisiana, Paris, Mexico, California, Glasgow, Cuba, Houston, Pacific and many more. Every year I think I will make a trip back to Missouri and visit some of the towns I lived in as a child.... Troy, Bowling Green, Ellsberry. Next summer I just will have to do that.
