The Rest of the Story

"Howdy. Here in NE KS we have had two days of cold and messy under foot. Temperatures are in the mid-teens. The forecast is for 4-7" of snow; however, it needs to get serious if we are to get that much. It was messy enough that a 90th birthday party for a retired District Judge was cancelled because of the travel problems. Frankly, I don''t need snow or any of the mess. I just do not enjoy it-maybe should find a new location to live. Gas prices here are in the $2.119 range, some lower and some above. In the area I''ve seen $1.999 and heard of $1.919 in Topeka." -- Vol. 9, Iss. 2 Intro

Castle On The Hill & Science Hall... "I found where a Frank Ingels, sculpture and graduate of Northwestern Normal School in 1915, donated the Lincoln monument to Northwestern. Did this occur the year he graduated in 1915? Did he scupture it himself? Does anyone have any more information on Frank Ingels? Thanks for helping us preserve a piece of this northwest Oklahoma past!"

Cedar Canyon Fire... "The owner, Anita Rennebohm, was in the process of selling the property, but it was not finalized. Word at the time was that she planned to start rebuilding immediately, was going to use a temporary building to begin selling noon meals (burgers, fries, etc.) within weeks, and would have a fancier, bigger place ready to open by July 1st. All that happened was that they cleaned the clutter up and walked away. No rebuilding. I have no idea who is running the motel at this point, or if it is even open (I assume it is, but have not asked that question specifically)."

Alva Teacher Listed - Centenarian... "Wow, ....my hats off to Salt of the Red Earth by M.J. Alexander !!! I cried all the way thru it !!! Breath-taking, and truely a spiritual gift to hold !!!
