Don't have the funds

I'm calling in concerning Sikeston Kindergarten. We love the fundraisers, but they are so expensive and it's back to back. We can't even purchase stuff for our kids at school because of all these expensive fundraisers. Can they do something with these fundraisers and make them a little less expensive for the people?

Need a new do

Are there any cosmetologists in Sikeston who are experienced with fixing older people's hair? If so, put your number in SpeakOut.

Family photos

I am looking for information on a story from 1941. Nathaniel T Engram and Mattie Lynch Engram had a daughter Lillie Engram-Foley-Browning who killed herself on July 18, 1941, was a distant cousin of mine. In the article it says neighbors had photos of her and she was the prettiest girl in Sikeston in the late 1880s when she moved there. She died destitute and neighbors paid for her service. It mentions Lela Ann Riley was the minister of Assembly of God who performed the ceremony. I would dearly love to obtain copies of my cousin's family photographs but have no way to find out who to ask. Is there any way to find out if the photos may have been donated? Or maybe someone still has them? Any and all help would be so appreciated! Gail Lynch Walton, email: kgailw@hotmail.com.

Not worth a dime

I'd like to speakout about this Obamacare healthcare insurance. I've had my 15th run-in with it, and just like our president, it ain't worth 10 cents. He's the sorriest president and that's the sorriest insurance.
