Last week I kind of took a look back over my lifetime and reflected on some of the changes that have come about. I find that growing up in Kansas has been a fantastic experience and I’m not sure I would change much of anything if given that chance. I have had the opportunity to travel to various places like Alaska, British Columbia, Idaho, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas to hunt and fish and will remember each and every one of them. But Kansas is home and that is where my heart lies!!!!

I went back and looked through my column archives and the last time that I made some future predictions was in 1996. Gee, that was 14 years ago!!!! It is interesting to look and think back through a 37 year career with this organization that I work for and see the progress that has been made!!!
