I HAD MY SISTER, CAROL ANN, TAKE ME TO ALL THE PLACES THAT I NEEDED PICTURES FOR MY HISTORY, SO HERE WE GO: THIS IS A PICTURE OF MY JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLRAYTOWN SOUTH JUNIOR HIGH(NOW KNOWN AS RAYTOWN SOUTH MIDDLE SCHOOL)
HOUSE OF A GOOD FRIEND GROWING UP,
NANNETTE MINGUS
WE MOVED FROM STAR VALLEY,WY. TO K.C., MO.
FOR CHIROPRACTIC SCHOOL MY FOLKS WERE VERY KIND
AND LET US STAY WITH THEM UNTIL
WE FOUND A PLACE OF OUR OWN
THIS IS WHERE I LIVED FROM THE AGE
OF 11 1/2 UNTIL COLLEGE AT
RICKS COLLEGE IN 1975
(RAYTOWN SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL)
TO K.C.,MO DURING MY 6TH GRADE YEAR.
(SOUTHWOOD ELEMENTARY)
WHERE OUR BOYS WENT TO SCHOOL
WHILE WE WERE LIVING IN KANSAS CITY 1990-1994
WESTRIDGE ELEMENTARY. THEY BUILT IT IN
MEMORY OF ALL THE CHILDREN WHO ATTENDED
THIS SCHOOL AND HAD LOST THEIR LIVES
IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

SHE WAS NICE ENOUGH TO TAKE THE PICTURE
HE WAS SO CUTE AND WORKED SO HARD
ON THIS STORE, HE SAID ALL THE MONEY
HE MADE WAS GOING
TO GO TO THE PROPHET
SARAH AND NEWEST LITTLE ONE - NOAH
DEDICATED KANSAS CITY MISSOURI TEMPLE.
ON THIS EVENING WE ATTENDED A SESSION
AND THEN HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF CLEANING
THE TEMPLE. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL TEMPLE
AND MANY OF US NEVER THOUGHT THAT
WE WOULD SEE THE DAY THAT THERE
WOULD BE A TEMPLE IN THIS AREA.
THE SAINTS ARE SO AMAZING THERE,
IT'S NO WONDER THAT THEY ARE BLESSED
WITH SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TEMPLE
WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG BOY AND
THE GENERAL AUTHORITIES WOULD VISIT
THEY WOULD ALLOW THE CHILDREN
TO COME UP AFTERWARDS AND THEY WOULD
SIGN THEIR SCRIPTURES
HOWARD W. HUNTER, MARK E. PETERSEN,
HAROLD B. LEE, SPENCER W. KIMBALL,
DEE B. ISREALSEN - ONE OF THE MISSIONARIES
WHO BAPTIZED MY FAMILY INTO
THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS,
AND VERNON J. TIPTON-FRIENDS OF MY MOTHER AND FATHER
THAT WAS GIVEN TO MY GRANDMOTHER,
WHILHELMINA ZUPKA IN ARIZONA BY A NEIGHBOR.
GRANDMA AND MY FAMILY DID NOT
JOIN THE CHURCH AT THIS TIME BUT LITTLE
DID SHE KNOW THAT A FEW YEARS LATER
THE MISSIONARIES WOULD COME KNOCKING
ON DAD AND MOM AND HER HOMES DOOR TO
TEACH THEM THE GOSPEL. A PART OF
THE STORY IS WRITTEN TWO PICTURES
DOWN ON A SHEET OF PAPER BY MY
MOTHER IN HER OWN HAND WRITING.
THE OTHER PART IS NOT PICTURED HERE.
THE STORY IS TUCKED INTO THE BOOK OF MORMON
WHICH OUR FAMILY WILL ALWAYS TREASURE.
