What a great loss to Kansas City, to the Midwest and to everyone interested in river history, archeology and to those who enjoy a great story of adventure and discovery. Greg Hawley, 51, and co-owner of the Steamboat Arabia Museum in Kansas City's River Market was killed Saturday evening when a speeding car driven by a teenager hit Hawley's pickup which then rolled and Hawley was thrown from the vehicle.
We don't know what changes this will make in the stated desires, expressed by the Hawley family, to relocate the museum to Parkville. We understand that they have located what appears to be another boat and they had stated that they wanted to move and expand the present museum and to display a new boat. This is a time for greeving, and soon enough the question of moving the museum will be revisited.
We extend our sincerest sympathies for the family's loss. More information can be found by chlicking the link below. For more information about the museum plese visit: http://www.1856.com/.

I had the pleasure and privilege of working for Mr. Greg Hawley in the 90's at the museum, and I can say without hesitation that there was not a finer gentleman in all the country than Mr. Hawley. I had spoken to him recently via a phone conversation and Greg still exhibited his inexhaustable love and excitement for the Missouri River, his family, and the history of riverboats. He will be greatly missed.
