Re: Time Traveller . . .(Coffeyville, Kansas coin toss) -- Joe H., 07:06:15 05/06/13 Mon [1]
So H.L.R., re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffeyville,_Kansas
Did your relative call heads or tails?
" Founded in 1869 as an Indian trading post by Col. James A. Coffey, serving the population across the Oklahoma border in what was then the Indian Territory, the town was confirmed and expanded by the arrival of the Leavenworth, Lawrence & Galveston Railroad in 1871. With the arrival of the railroad, a young surveyor, Napoleon B. Blanton, was dispatched to lay out the town. The naming of the town was left to the toss of a coin between Col. Coffey and U.S. Army Captain Blanton. Blanton lost the toss and the town was officially named Coffeyville. "

for Gary Busey (;-), Amazon dot com and:
" Kansas weather can be wild, and Coffeyville still holds the title for the "World's Heaviest Hailstone", a 1.67-pound beheamoth. Measuring 17.5 inches in circumference, it struck the ground at an estimated 105 miles per hour on September 3, 1970. The original was sent to the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, but a replica is on display at the Dalton Defenders Museum (see the "Attractions" section for more specifics.) *"
