Welcome from another Missourian! I have been through Union. It is a pretty place. Used to visit people there in the late 60's!
I understand there are several LQS out that way and some very talented quitlers as well.
I need to work on UFOs, but am in the process of moving material, and finding what I DO already have. I know I have stuff I haven't seen for quite a bit and had actually forgotten about! :?
