Gone List - Winfield, KS
This is a quick project from 12/17/2010 to 12/31/2010 to make a list of
things that are gone from Winfield, Kansas.
I will appreciate all of the help I can get in compiling this list and the links
to picture etc. that show what is gone. I am going to start with what I think of
and will add your ideas when you send them to me. At the bottom are a number of
links to show you where the things that are gone, were, when they were there.
