Hall of Fame

On a recent road trip, I stopped at the Kansas Teacher's Hall of Fame in Dodge City.  The above pictures are of the founder Lawrence Stanton and the 2013 inductees.   Our docent Mrs. Williams, who taught for thirty years herself before retiring last fall, said the biggest change in her tenure as a teacher was more parent involvement.   And not always for the better.   "Specially when they all think their kids are a genius." 

The second floor housed a lonely wax museum filled mostly with western heros of Dodge City lore, and, inexplicably, a very disappointed LBJ.
