My 2008 visit to Saint Joseph, Missouri included my second trip to the Glore Psychiatric Museum. As my daughter never had the opportunity to visit the museum, I chose to videotape my visit through the museum. The video is under 25 minutes and had to be cut into two parts for uploading to YouTube. The videos can be found at:
Part 1: http://youtu.be/uG28cNG4bLk
Part 2: http://youtu.be/-FfJslsbhis
While far from professional, the videos serve the purpose of introducing the museum to you. If you are in the St. Joseph area, this is one of several museums worth visiting.
The following information is copied from the museum’s website (circa 2008).
The Glore Psychiatric Museum chronicles the 130-year history of what was once known as the “State Lunatic Asylum No. 2.” The Museum uses full-sized replicas, interactive displays, audio-visuals, artifacts, and documents to illustrate the history of the treatment of mental illness. The museum is recognized as “one of the 50 most unusual Museums in the country.” It is also featured in the book “1,000 Places to See Before You Die in the USA and Canada.”
Over the years, I have had a number of articles published. The early ones were in sport card newsletters, followed by some early computer magazines and finally those related to genealogy and family history. Where available, I have listed the repository for the articles. I can sometimes provide copies (JPG, PDF, etc.,). Please contact me if you wish a copy of a specific article.
My Father’s Diary
This article was published in the Journal - Northwest Missouri Genealogical Society, Vol. 35, No. 2, Fall 2015, Page 22-25. The article describes a diary kept in 1942 by my father as he entered the US Army Air Corps. His first year was in training in various locations. During the year, he met my mother. They were wed after the war. The article can be found in the Membership section of the NW Missouri Genealogical Society website.
Researching My Father and the War
This article was published in the Journal - Northwest Missouri Genealogical Society, Vol. 35, No. 2, Fall 2015, Page 26-28. This article is similar, but not exactly, the same as the article below, as provided below (same title). It doesn’t include the appendix and has been modified for the Journal. The article details, with photographs, my research into the life of my father and his participation before, during and after World War II. The article can be found in the Membership section of the NW Missouri Genealogical Society website.
Researching the Priests in My Family
This article was originally published in “The Genealogical Helper” as noted below. It has been re-formatted and printed in the Journal - Northwest Missouri Genealogical Society, Vol. 34, No. 2, Fall 2014, Page 3. The article describes Frederick J. Yehle, my great uncle, a Catholic Priest, and how I researched his records and what was found. The reformatted version was designed to provide guidance on finding actual sources. The article can be found in the Membership section of the NW Missouri Genealogical Society website.
Researching My Father and the War
[Article only, without appendix]
This article was originally submitted to “The Genealogical Helper”. It was accepted but was never printed as the magazine went out of business in early 2009. I used a variety of sources to establish information that I had never known about my father and his service in the second world war and beyond.
World War II: A Love Story
This article was submitted to a local genealogical society in April 2011 as part of a writing contest. The article is based on a journal kept by my father in 1942 while he was serving in the Army Air Corps. He enlisted immediately after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.

Each year from 1991 - 2015, A personalized Christmas Ornament was purchased highlighting the makeup of the family as it existed that holiday season. An attempt is made to obtain a different designed ornament each year. This is possible often because the number of people in the “family” changed. It is also possible, thankfully, as the available ornaments have changed over time. The early ornaments were purchased in the California Monterey/Carmel area. The more recent decades were purchased at Apple Hill near Placerville at the post-Labor Day crafts sales. See "Ornaments 1991-2015" section for the collection.
