i’m about to embark for a month in kansas — directing pageant at k.u. (i went to school there for a couple years) … i’m really looking forward to revisiting some college memories, making new friends and connecting with old ones … frank kelly, who co-wrote the book and lyrics for pageant, and i met as students there and he’s going to come in for the opening (i’m so pleased about that) … so this month’s poem is kansas-specific
