My dad's mom's nickname was Cookie. She was born in a shack with no electricity or running water near Rock Port, MO. She was a school teacher, then married my Grandpa Jim who was a right handed pitcher and played for the Kansas City Streetcar Company (now the KC ATA). She became a home maker had four kids (my dad was second oldest) and she helped my Aunt Margaret study and graduate from CMSU (now Univ of Central MO). Margaret was the first in the family to graduate college in the late 1960s. Grandma Cookie used to babysit my sister and me when we were little in Raytown. She used to like to listen to WHB and we'd get the Top 40 countdown at Katz Drug every week. She loved Pepsi Cola, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, the Royals and Chiefs. And Johnny Robinson was her favorite player.
