After leaving the Truman Birth place in Lamar, Missouri I headed north toward Kansas City, Missouri to find the Shawnee Mission, Kansas North West High School where Patricia and Jamie attended and graduated. I find it interesting and frustrating at the same time when traveling through areas where I have lived because all the new road by pass places I knew and nothing looks the same. As I approached south of Kansas City however, the road was basically the same as I knew it and things looked familiar. When I got into Kansas and headed toward Shawnee Mission I started recognizing street names but I could not recall exactly where they led to. The old GPS unit took me right to the school and boy has it changed. Bigger and Bigger as the following photographs show.
