Part of what we've attempted to do in order to memorialize our family's loss of Levi is to work ourselves and solicit help from others in building an addition to what was Levi's favorite place to go when he came to Cape Girardeau from his hometown of Benton, the Discovery Playhouse. The assistance we have received from the local and larger community has been overwhelming and so very heartwarming.

At 11:30 a.m. Tuesday on the vacant lot north of the Discovery Playhouse, we will break ground for what will be named Levi's Adventure Trail. We invite you to join us.

VINEY AND STEVE MOSLEY, Cape Girardeau
