    Corben is from Sunflower Kansas, grew up there. Born in MO. Do you
    specifically mean KS or MO, since they are border states. Kirk lived
    in KCMO, now in LA and works for Disney. Sorry John's here
    correcting me, he's conversed with Tim. Oh Hannnes Bok was born
    KCMO.Walt not from there, I think Chicago but lived there and went
    to KCAI as Rich did.

    this is his web site-I don't know why it's down maybe he's working
    on it.

    John knows them because of Fantasy Science fiction and illustration.
    Say are you in KS?? I know I have rich's number somewhere. He's
    pretty introverted but perhaps he could come by or Donna, his better
    half could help. Stan Dresser is one of his best friends and close
    to him. Let me know. Say makes me glad I turned him down to pose for
    one of his paintings now- to think people could see me in the
    BUFF.LOL If his web site comes back just email him. He's one of the
    few artists who does his own site. He may not remember me, but stan
    will so just tell him I worked with Stan and he'll know what you
    mean.
    (I'm not sure but you could check with the admin. building at KCAI-
    Dale Eldred, Jim Leedy, Ken Ferguson Bill McKim,Hugh Merril all
    taught while I was there and perhaps some are from there.)
    YOu might include William Burroughs (born and raised in Chicago) but
    lived most of his later life in Lawrence Kansas and died there. Did
    you go to the funeral??? I had few friends who did and some were
    aquaintences of his. Only heard him read a few times.
