44 S* pitch with the "boys" at 711, his "inner club" at the Kansas City Club. On the family trip east last summer, June pursued his newest hobby, as he had done previously on vacations to California and the Caribbean. He has become a "Stereo-Realist" camera enthusiast — a sure-enough shutterbug! — and is "collecting people." His gallery of three-dimension photos includes practically every friend, relative and notable he has met since he took up photography! PICTURES in the collection include members of the many organizations to which June belongs: the Sons of the American Revolution, the Native Sons of Kansas City, Sigma Nu, the Legion of Honor of DeMolay (an unusual honor, because Moore is not a Mason).

Moore, Sr., was an organizer of the Real Estate Board and its second president. The Moores, Sr. and Jr., are the first father-son team to hold the presidency. But June remembers when his father was not always civic-minded. "They begged him to run for mayor when I was a kid," he says, "and I got mad at him because he wouldn't. But he did serve on the Health Board for a while — cleaned it up — and then resigned. I didn't like it when he wouldn't stand for mayor. I have read a lot about the British theories of public service — and I feel that every man owes a debt of service to his community. He earns his living from that community, and if the
