How about a photo of Wyatt Earp?

I’m glad that the Greater Wichita Convention and Visitors Bureau had a full-page ad in USA Today last week, and that it contrasted our Wild West heritage with modern-day Wichita. But I wish it would have used a main photograph other than that of Carry Nation. Maybe it’s just me, but seeing Nation and her ax reminded me of evolution opponents, abortion protesters, Fred Phelps and other religious activists. That’s not a reminder of our state that is likely to draw many tourists.
