Jer and I made a trip to Columbia, Missouri, this week. We crossed the river at Louisiana, which has "the most intact Victorian Streetscape in the state of Missouri".

Nonie Dudley retired after 42 years of service with Rural Development in Columbia, MO.

Carol and Pete Easterhaus enjoy the festivities. Prior to retirement Pete held the same position in Missouri that Jer had in Illinois.
