This afternoon we visited in Monroe City with a very dear friend, Art Buckwalter. Art and Mary were a part of our square dance friends and we used to travel with them to many dances around the country including a dance in the state of California. Their daughter, Linda, lives in the New Orleans area and has a birthday on the same day that Jo used to call hers, March 28. Several years ago Jo and I traveled with Art and Mary to New Orleans and celebrated that day for Jo and Linda. Mary had a battle with breast cancer that she lost a few years ago.
After our visit with Art we stopped by the Missouri State park and Museum for Mark Twain's birthplace. Samuel Clemens was born in Florida, MO on Nov. 30, 1835 and the house has been moved and preserved within the museum building along with many items from his life.
