Скачать или смотреть Before Travis, There Was Another Kelce Who Was a Big Deal in Kansas City

Travis isn't the only Kelce to have made waves in KC. This installment of "Reel Rare: Found Films from Old KC" focuses on L. Russell Kelce, a coal miner, rancher and philanthropist who made his fortune here in the 1930s and 40s. Old home movies give us glimpses of his Merryvale Farm and exotic vacations taken by "the Other Kelce."

A few years ago Travis Kelce revealed that the proper way to pronounce his name was “kels.” He also acknowledged it would be a hard change for people to make.

Ironically, not so long ago Kansas City had its own prominent, extremely successful Kelce who actually did pronounce it that way.

But almost no one remembers him now. 

That man is the focus of “The Other Kelce,” the newest installment of the Star’s Reel Rare video series. 

It’s an amazing story centered around old films found by Joe Tomelleri. Joe is a scientific illustrator by trade, who also collects vintage cameras and films.
