Ralph Gage’s tweet of a William Allen White editorial reminded me of an event in my life.
From 1997 to 1999 I had the good fortune to work at Kennedy Space Center on the Space Shuttle Program. I made no secret of my Kansas roots and gladly bore the good-natured teasing about “Toto” and tornadoes. You may recall that during that period the Kansas State School Board raised objections to the teaching of evolution in our schools.
About that time the teasing stopped.
