Brian Burnes Addresses the Kansas City Area Archivists, June 9



Join KCAA for an Evening with

Brian Burnes

6-9 p.m., Saturday, June 9th, 2001
Riverfront Community Center
(the historic Union Depot on the River)
Leavenworth, Kansas

        KCAA invites you to an evening with Brian Burnes,  history reporter
for the Kansas City Star.  For twenty-five years Burnes has informed and
entertained Star readers with pieces, on among others, Ernest Hemingway, a
one-time cub reporter for the Kansas City Star who credited the Star's very
own style manual for the clarity of his lean style. Then there was Burne's
fine tribute to Bonner Springs native,  Gene Clark, the late co-founder of
the 60's rock music phenom, the Byrds. Only fitting that this music city
should not forget one of her own.  Burnes, quoting a London critic, reminds
us that Clark's 1974 album titled, "No Other", was "one of the boldest, most
brilliant and . . . near perfect pieces of work in the history of pop
music."  No faint praise.

        We'll be sitting high above the swollen Missouri River the evening
of the 9th, a fitting location to hear about - among other things - Burnes'
soon to be released book, High and Rising: The 1951 Kansas City Flood.  Join
us!
