Greg Hawley of the Steamboat Arabia killed

[Virginia Mescher]

For those of you who have visited the Steamboat Arabia in Kansas City may have met Grey Hawley, one of the excavators and owners. He was killed in an auto accident on Sat. evening.

We had the pleasure of meeting him on one of our tours and he did make the excavation come alive and was great to talk to.

This is sad beyond belief. The Hawley's and their associates are one of Kansas City's treasures as well as their excavated treasure. He was there at the Museum almost every time I visited it. It's hard to believe he is gone just like that.

It is indeed a sad day for the for the Kansas City area. The Hawley's have created one of the great privately owned small museums, I have ever had the pleasure of visiting.
