The Bootheel, Buckminster Fuller, Larry Giles Remembered.

John Hardeman Walker was determined to be part of the new state of Missouri and somehow managed to get the borders redrawn to include what is today called the Bootheel. The designer/innovator/environmentalist’s modest geodesic dome home in Carbondale is being refurbished and turned into a museum. The man who spent years collecting pieces of St. Louis’ disappearing buildings passed away in June.
