General Description

Using the word "legend" may be an understatement when talking about Harold Roe Bennett Sturdevant Bartle. There has probably never been a professional Scouter on the local or national scene quite like him. A big man with a big voice who was bigger than life, he was born in Virginia on June 25, 1901. Known simply as "The Chief", the massive Kansas City Convention Center is named in his honor not to mention the Kansas City Chiefs NFL football team. He was a professional Scouter extraordinaire and during his lifetime also managed to be a lawyer, banker, cattleman, politician, college president and renowned public speaker.
