Now better known as a University town, home of the Truman University of Missouri.
Much has changed since Jim lived there and much is still the same.
We found Jim's old House (left) and his old school (right). The old school is no longer in use and soon to be renovated for offices by the University.
We also found the Thousand Hills Lake where Jim had spent time as a lad. Very much changed since it is now is home to many who enjoy the water sports.
Also had a good look around the old town square. 
The Poto's left and right are of buildings that surround the city Courthouse.
Tomorrow we leave for Fort Madison for our last three nights before returning back to Australia.
Cheers

We were thinking of you Jim. Kirksville IS the resting place of your Mum and Dad isn't it? I know Fort Madison also figured large in your early life ..so, baseball and battlefields aside ... I guess these few days ARE the linch-pin of the whole odyssey?
ReplyDeleteGood luck and travel safely boys! Rob.M

ReplyDeleteYes Bob what you said is true. Kirksville is also the resting place of his sister!

Couldn't win a booby prize in a rigged raffle at the moment Neil. Still, it's very much a game of ups and downs ... that's why we like it Eh?
DeleteDon't tell Jimbo. I didn't know he had a sister.
Take care fellers. Bob.M
