Visit to Goodland, KS

I am visiting Goodland, Kansas. My step-dad's family, the Biglers, are from here. I really consider them my family, as I am not really very close with my biological father. Anyhow, here I am in Goodland, Kansas in the summertime. Hot and humid. My (step) Great-Grandparents, Charles and Mabel Bigler, lived here for a long time. He ran the newspaper here in town, and they lived in a small apartment over what used to be the bank. I met a gentleman today, as I was taking pictures of Main Street. His name is John Golden, and he actually knew my Grandpa, Myron Bigler. Seems my grandpa, Myron, shot John's cousin in the butt. I wish I could have talked with him longer, to see if he had any other stories. Maybe I will run into him again tomorrow. I am going to Goodland's cemetery to take photos of their gravestones.
