Old home town – 25 years ago today

Federal officials were in Lawrence to secure a location for an office from which to dispense aid to victims of the June 19 tornado here. The Small Business Administration had been accepting applications and explaining procedures for some time.

The death toll from the Kansas City Hyatt Regency skywalk collapse was still listed at 114 with at least 200 more injured. The latest tabulations indicated nobody from Lawrence had died in the Friday night dance tragedy.
