HARLAND J. SCHUSTER, ETC.

In the summer 2003 edition of KANSAS!, there is a terrific picture of the old grain elevator in Wilson taken by Harland J. Schuster. It's a masterpiece of photography. It's the type of picture you'd think every home in Wilson might want to display. It captures the nostalgia of earlier days in Wilson.

The red fox appeared in our yard again this morning and took a long look at our house before scampering into the woods. He hadn't been around for awhile so we were happy to see him again.

My grandsons told me the other day we have a new basketball coach and science teacher. Travis Powell taught here before and has returned once again. I think he will fill the classroom vacancy created by Kenny Cravens transfer to the middle school.

MAYB basketball is in full swing. That means parents spend each weekend someplace in Kansas watching their kids play in various towns where games are scheduled. This coming weekend the play will center around Salina, Lindsborg and ?...hum...maybe Minneapolis. Last weekend it was Marion, Halstead and Hesston. Maybe. It's hard to follow. There is a lot of driving involved and hustling kids from town to town for games. It's hardly manageable with two boys playing on two different teams, but everyone seems to love the experience. I just hope they pick up some ball-handling skills along the way.
