Who We Are
Like so many other small businesses,
Legends of America
started out as a hobby. Owner-Editor, Kathy Weiser-Alexander, has a deep
seated love for history, travel, writing, and almost anything falling
within a creative realm. With this in mind, she started a small
personal page called
High Country Legends.
Quickly, the ideas and opportunities expanded to include a
partnership with the
Rocky Mountain General Store, which has been in business since 1998.
Kathy's qualifications include a degree in Business Administration; years
of drawing, painting, and other artsy-craftsy stuff; and, when creativity
didn't pay the bills --
more than 20 years of hands-on corporate experience, encompassing
business and people management, customer service,
technology, and consulting. Creativity in the form of writing, graphics,
and website design has brought her back to center.

David Alexander,
who Kathy met in the same year that this website began in 2003, has
contributed advice and technical knowledge from the start. Dave has been involved in the radio broadcasting business
since he was in his teens, building his career into a popular Disc Jockey in
Texas and
Kansas. In his role as both a "jock" and a radio station program
manager, he gained a bucket-load of experience in sales and marketing. In 1999,
Dave left the airwaves to join a company that sold, managed, and trouble-shooted
software for radio stations. Once he joined this successful company, it
was bought out twice, the last time by Google, gaining him even more
experience.
It
was during this time that Dave provided great advice and support in the
building of
Legends of America, especially as a travel partner and "tech dude."
His division; however, was sold by Google in the fall of 2009, at which
time, he joined
Legends of America full time.
Now, Kathy is in charge of the writing, photography, and website design,
while Dave handles the shipping, marketing, sales and
video production. Someone up there
was looking over us to make such a great partnership.
Though we started in the Kansas City area -- Dave -- in Prairie Village,
Kansas and Kathy in Lenexa,
Kansas, the business officially moved to
Warsaw, Missouri
in May, 2010. Warsaw, which sits on the dam
splitting Truman Lake and the Lake of the Ozarks, is a small town with about 2,000
full-time folks.
That number; however about doubles in the summer due to the lake effect.
But, we can't take all the credit. We have a number of friends, family,
Legends readers, and affiliates that provide additional
information, photographs, and experience in
retail sales, website design, writing, photography, publishing, and
marketing.
