Wow, great to run across this. I went to the school of Les 25 years ago (yikes!, hey Dan, hey Stan) it’s great to see the right kind of journalist training continuing. Hope to drop into Wichita one day before long.

Hi everyone, I hope you enjoyed your good supper tonight. It sounded delicious when Nancy told me about Ben’s culinary endeavor. This is so interesting, keep up the good work. I have been listening to the weather warnings for Greensburg. Stay safe! Aileen

Hey guys and gals, is it chilly out there at night? I remember going to Greensburg the night of the tornado as a temporary Eagle reporter/photographer and being buffeted by cold and wind and stray debris. We had little food and water, no toilets, no cell phone coverage — heck, you guys have it easy! I’ve covered a lot of disasters in my day, including the F5 Hesston tornado and lotsa plane crashes, but the devastation caused by the Greensburg twister was really scary. Anyway, best of luck. Give me a ring if yu need a bottle of rum to keep ya warm. Do good journalism. Dan.

Les, you never cease to amaze me! I knew this had to be your project, and it will be a great experience for students.

Hello Les!
As I started reading this, I wondered if this might be you. Now I know that it is! I will be interested in what you guys uncover in the next two weeks. I look forward to reading it. Hope that you have a decent bed to sleep in.
Take care-Janie

There is nothing better than real-life, practical training for budding journalism students. Keep up the good work.
