Hi! I will try to keep this short. My mother (and her family) were born and raised in Fort Scott. I was to until we moved to KC when I was 3. I am trying to make a scrapbook/memory book for Christmas for her and her sister (my aunt, thats about all thats left of that side of the family). I am searching for images of Fort Scott, not the touristy stuff, local stuff. I am especially interested in Fort Scott Lake, Gunn Park (including the little house at the entrance), Main street, whatever. I promise to only use these only for this personal project. I am more than willing to give credit to the photographer/owner of any pictures. My grandparents are gone now, but they lived at 501 W. 18th st. and ran a bait shop there in the 1970 until the late 80's. Before that my Grandfather was the Manor bakery man for Fort Scott (bread, fruitcakes,etc. delivery door to door.) If anyone has any memories of either the bait shop or my Grandfather as the "Manor Man" and would be willing to share I would be most grateful. Added stories from people would be a great addition. Well thanks in advance, feel free to post here or contact me privately. Feel free to share this msg. with anyone that might be able to help. Thank you so much!
