At the American Legion Boys State of Kansas, J. Schafer, of Kansas Public Radio, talked to the delegates about all the great things that come out of Kansas.
Unknown to anyone at Boys State, he was previewing a radio piece that shared all those facts in honor of Kansas’ 150th birthday.
The piece is called “Kansas from A to Z / Kansas At 150,” and it is quite enlightening.
