I live SE of KC in Pleasant Hill. Very familiar with Joplin area, our daughter went MSSU four 4 years and lived in Joplin and Webb City during that time. I personally have not been down since the tornado. My daughter graduated the day before it hit. We were having her grad party when that happened. So very scarey and sad!!

Good luck with your surgery!

It will be here and over before you know it, Carolyn. Hope it goes very well for you!

Carolyn, I'm a Joplin native. Lived there the first 20 years of my life! My folks still live there, and since we live in Tulsa we get to Joplin often. It's so nice to meet folks who have things in common with me in addition to VSG!

Good luck! I wish you all a speedy recovery!

Glad to meet you both. Attend mssu as well good school. Before moving to Joplin lived in Olathe and attend jccc. Pre law. No was going for paralegal. Have a son and his family living in Tulsa. Jenks really. Small world.
