DISCOVER MY DEEP ROOTS
Coffman Insurance
The Coffmans are diligent honest folks who have always put my best interests first. I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly.
Jimmy Blecher III – budding young artist
Now here’s an odd one – Kansas City’s best drywaller and a legitimate rising music star.
Smith Specialty Automotive
Want a mechanic you can trust? I recommend Smith, Dave Smith, that is. Specialty? They fixed my son's ancient Ford. As far as I'm concerned, their specialty is dependability.
ProPartners MD
The last time I was in to see my doc, Sonny Holbrook, I told him that I liked the way he dealt with me – like a real participant in my own heath care, not just a sick patient. And they always get me in and out fast.
Mitzi Ryburn – Queen of Networkers
It’s just good to know someone as well connected as Mitzi is. If you need a lead or referral, Mitzi is always glad to make a connection.
Wil Jenny’s Restaurant
Great chow with a Texas Hill Country flair.
See my restaurant review.
RenderGarden Media
When I want the web done right, I call RenderGarden Media. Great graphic design and creative web elements and sites.
MidWest Gun Shop
Paola KS’s newest purveyor of things that go boom.

Fry Orthodontic
Where my money and my son’s mouth is.
Werner’s Fine Sausages
Great authentic sausage! And Thomas Roth, GrillMeister Extraordinaore / Certified Sausageologist, is worth a visit when he’s grilling on Saturdays 11-2. I recommend the spicy Polish on a bun. I'm on a quest to find the best Andouille sausage in the MidWest. (I know, that's an oxymoron; just let me live in my own world.)
Smokehouse Bar-B-Que
There’s no finer BBQ to be had in a town famous for it’s BBQ.
See my restaurant review.
Jack Cashill
I’m an arm’s-length acquaintance of Jack’s, but I enjoy reading his fascinatingly fertile insights.
