I wonder what the guy ever did with them?
Sounds like an interesting story! Kansas seems to have attracted many individualists' like the man who created The Garden Of Eden in Lucas, Kansas. A mighty interesting place to visit!
The Denver public tv channel ran a story on the Lucas, Kansas, Garden of Eden site.
I have intended to stop by there several times but thus far have not made it.
Well worth the side trip if you enjoy oddities! This man was definitely an individualist, and quite the artist in cement!
Jo, do you remember how you coudn't get anything at night but DELRIO, tEXAS LATE AT NIFHT ON YOUR CAR RADIO?
I do remember that, Jody, and it was gooooooood listening, or so we thought.
