Leo Beuerman |
My friend and classmate, may he rest in peace, Tom Fisher wrote a piece on Leo. Tom's dad owned the Round Corner Drug store in Lawrence from 1943 to 1975.
Leo Buerman was a locally famous character; he lived in the Lawrence area all his seventy or so years and an academy award-winning documentary was produced about him by Centron Films, of Lawrence. He was two and a half feet tall, legally blind and looked as if carved from an apple, with wrinkled skin from years of sun and thinning gray hair. He always wore a little Key farmer’s cap. His condition made it impossible for him to walk, but he made his way to town anyway. He drove to Lawrence from his family farm almost daily on a old tractor, specially modified for his needs. You didn’t need a driver’s license to drive a tractor in Kansas. No test, no inspection, no anything. He would park his tractor near the corner of Eighth and Massachusetts, next to Lawrence Building and Loan, struggle into a little wooden cart and lower himself to the street on a chain with block and tackle.
He stationed himself on the sidewalk at the corner in front of either the First National Bank or Crown Drug in his cart.

Leo Beuerman was a little over 3 feet in height. From a young age, he couldn't walk. He was essentially deaf for most of his life. Yet he didn't let his disabilities keep him from being an entrepreneur and inventor. He used to drive his modified tractor from the family home in Lakeview, Kansas to Lawrence, Kansas to sell small items on the streets of Lawrence. He was mugged twice, and had accidents with a car and a train. Yet he never let life's misfortunes keep him down. In 1969, a film about his life was nominated for the Academy Award in the Best Documentary Short category. The Leo Beuerman story has been told many times by many people - in movies, newspaper articles, at non-profits, and in colleges. But strangely enough, none of those versions of Leo's story have ever included input from the people that knew Leo the best - his family. This book will remedy that situation. It is a view of Leo that most people have never seen before. It is a view of Leo from his family.
