  • Journal of the House
    JANUARY 30, 2020 1983 Journal of the House THIRTEENTH DAY HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, TOPEKA, KS, Thursday, January 30, 2020, 11:00 a.m. The House met pursuant to adjournment with Speaker pro tem Finch in the chair. The roll was called with 123 members present. Rep. Winn was excused on legislative business. Rep. Long was excused on excused absence by the Speaker. Prayer by Chaplain Brubaker, Faithful and loving God, thank You for another day to live and enjoy. As our leaders work together, help them to work hard and to work together like in football. They need to believe – in themselves and in others. There must be total commitment, hard work, dedication and self-sacrifice on each part. It requires a team that beats with one heart, finding a way to accomplish the one goal— winning for the home crowd. May it happen in this chamber… and may it happen in Miami this weekend. This I pray, Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep. Awerkamp. PERSONAL PRIVILEGE There being no objection, the following remarks of Rep. Waymaster are spread upon the Journal: I want to take the time to tell you about a famous Russellite that many may not know about. She is a distant cousin to my maternal grandmother. Her name is Marj Dusay. Marj Dusay was born in Russell, Kansas February 20, 1936 and she is well known as being an American actress for her roles on daytime soap operas. She was especially known for her role as Alexandra Spaulding on Guiding Light, a role she played on and off, from 1993 through the show’s 2009 cancellation, as well as playing the wife of Douglas MacArthur in the 1977 movie MacArthur.
