A serene sanctuary unblemished by McDonalds's and Wal-Mart, Story was a haven for those of the Liberal Arts persuasion, as well as for English Majors, quilters, and the Supper Club Generation.  Man and beast happily co-existed in the natural harmony that was meant to be, except for mosquitoes and fleas which were simply not allowed.

The people of Story were very friendly to out-siders, as most of them had once been out-siders themselves who had forged their way west in search of truth, justice, and the American way.  The unofficial welcoming committee, Dennis and Sherri, were two of Story's nicest citizens who truly seemed to enjoy greeting prospective inhabitants (and not just because they stood to make a few bucks by selling property in their fair town.)

One day, two weary travelers appeared on the doorstep of Story Realty where Dennis and Sherri wiled away their working hours.  Mike and Michele had traveled far and wide, seeking out the perfect place to spend the remainder of their days together.  When they drove through Story they had a hunch that this would be the town to call their home.  And when they met Dennis and Sherri, they knew their hunch had been right on the money.

Mike and Michele rode out of town that day, knowing in their hearts that with a little help from Dennis and Sherri, they would soon return to Story and live happily ever after.

An update to this story is that Mike and Michele are now officially Story Residents as of May, 2004.  We welcome them and hope that their every dream will be fulfilled!
