I am looking forward to hearing our speakers, Don Popejoy and Chet Caskey. Don served as Chapter Secretary and Membership Chair in the early years, and I welcome his return as a con- tributor to Worthy of Notice. I hope you will enjoy his article about Alonzo Victor Lewis. Layne Corneliuson and I are very thankful to our fellow students of the Corps of Discovery who take the time to write for our humble newsletter. Since we took over as co-editors, after Tim Underwood's long service in that role, we have been favored by articles written by John Fisher, Rob Heacock, Barb Kubik, Tom Laidlaw, Gary Lentz, Mar- garet Nelson, Jill Stephenson, Doc Wesselius and Tom Wilson. We look forward to more contributions from them in the future. But if you have never written for WON, yet you have an idea for an article, please let us know; we are always looking for good content. You can send your material, or simply contact us, at: [email protected] We look forward to seeing more scholarship from all of you, and hopefully seeing you in person at the Spring field trip.

After several futile weeks of internet research, I finally went to my two main sources, Penny Hut- ten and Dolly Webb. Penny found a newspaper article in the Spokane Daily Chronicle, dated February 16, 1972, written by Harriet J. Connor. The article celebrated the 60th anniversary of the rebuilding of Lewis and Clark High School, which was destroyed by fire on June 20, 1910.

  • Family Activities Handbook
    Youth & Adult Participant and Parent/Guardian Commitment In Mountaineers Family Activities, youth participants must be accompanied by an adult who agrees to be their supervisor. If the leader’s child is participating, there should be an additional adult who takes responsibility for that child, so that the trip leader can focus on the safety of the group, without the distraction of taking care of a youth participant. Adults participating in a family activity may supervise more than one youth, and youth can attend without their parents/guardians as long as they are with another adult. Because many of our locations have party-size maximums dictated by the land manager, often times a family activity can only accommodate a handful of families. Because of this, and because families typically need to plan far in advance, it is very important that families commit to attending the activity. A last-minute cancellation will prevent families from attending who could have attended with more notice, and may significantly impact the feel of the activity. Families who frequently cancel at the last minute may risk denial of participation in future family activities. Electronics Cell phones, music and video games are typically not a part of the Mountaineers programs. They detract from the wilderness experience and from the community. Youth are encouraged to leave all electronics out of sight (or at home) during Mountaineers programs. Youth who choose to use cell phones, gps units or other electronics may do so, with the leader’s permission, as long as it creates no disruption of the wilderness experience for others.

  • David a Lester and the Kinsley Civil War Monument
    Civil War Valor in Concrete by Randall M. Thies emorial Day, 1917: David Lester looked on with pride as the recently completed Civil War monument was unveiled in Hillside Cemetery, a short Mdistance northwest of Kinsley, Kansas. A Union vet- eran and longtime resident of the Kinsley area, Lester had a special reason to be proud of the new monu- ment: he was the artist who had created it. Memorial Day was always a special occasion, but the unveiling of the new monument made this day even more so, attracting a large crowd despite threat- ening weather and bad roads. After beginning the day with a band concert, speeches, and parade in downtown Kinsley, the crowd gathered at the ceme- tery to share in the dedication of its new monument. Uniformed members of the Knights of Pythias served as a ceremonial firing squad, while flower girls in white dresses provided a festive air. Honored as the The Kinsley Civil War monument photographed about the time of its dedication—Memorial Day, 1917. Randall W. Thies is an archeologist and cultural resource specialist with the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka and currently serves as state coor- dinator for the Kansas Save Outdoor Sculpture! (SOS!) project. A graduate of Washburn University, he received an M.A. in sociology (anthropology) from Iowa State University in 1979. 164 KANSAS HISTORY David A. Lester and the Kinsley Civil War Monument creator of the monument, David Lester also read the memorial service, as appropriate to his role as com- mander of Kinsley’s Timothy O.
