Photo From Greensburg Kansas
Photo shows, Josh Zeck, while touring his former hometown of Greensburg 2 weeks ago.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words . . .
This just breaks my heart . . . All the more reason why we can’t stop now.
A little more on the building behind Josh (this picture was sent to me by his brother in law):
Cornerstone laid in 1935, completed in 1936 and dedicated on 2/14/1937, this building was made of granite and stone. Behind Josh (in the upper left hand corner of the picture) are the front steps. To the left of the steps, the stone extends up another 1-2 feet, then nothing. To the right of the front steps, nothing but rubble. This was their Scout building, and I'm told that it takes winds of over 200 mph to take a stone and granite structure down like it did the night of May 4th.

Thank you for all you have done for the "Scouts Helping Scouts" effort! Please remember - if in the Northland tonight, stop on by! We have a Collection Point from 5:30PM - 6:15PM, then a Court of Honor afterwards.
Yours in Scouting,
