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.

California Beaches!

Spent a day at the Salton Sea in an area dubbed the "Salton Riviera" by real estate promotors in the 1960's.   Unfortunately massive pesticide run-off into the already highly salinated water doomed their dreams.  But you gotta love the optimism.
