About Me

Brief History

My family moved back to Belton in 1952. However, my ancestors were here in the 1840's, and we still have a family cemetery south of Belton.

I graduated from Belton High in 1966, and moved away for college and a job. However, I always kept contact with my family in Belton, and moved back in 2013 for retirement.
