I grew up knowing Mary Anne and Harry Gust when they owned the house in the early 80s and early 90s (for me before I moved away) They sold the house way after I left. Mary Anne was a co-worker with my dad at Boeing and she loved nothing more than to entertain my fantasies of the house and let me run amock and explore. I have been away from Wichita since 1995, so am unsure if the tradition still stands, but during Christmas they used to put on a lavish display of lights and santas waving from the balconies. I can assure you the house is only haunted by good spirits. However as a kid I remember odd marks spaced apart the size of a bed directly in front of one of the windows, dented and almost burnished into the wood floor. Mary Anne told me those marks were from coffins being mounted for funerals and wakes at the home, very customary to the time of course. Unfortunately somebody during the early 70s or 60s butchered the kitchen and it was an awful mess, so I never saw it to it's full potential. The carriage house is also just as gorgeous. I remember digging in the backyard and we would find old rusted tools and horseshoes scattered about and buried after all those years. I'll bet those items were probably left at the home for the new tenants to have. Last and final note, a movie was filmed here in 1980 called The Attic. Take a look and check it out! I am so happy to see such loving people keep this Wichita treasure alive, and on a personal note an important part of my childhood and father's friend's home alive. They cherised the mansion and knew exactly how lucky they were to have it, just as these folks understand. I hope there is a little girl right now running around and exploring the house to the fullest, as there are still many treasures to uncover. Link to IMDB of The Attic if anyone has interest. m.imdb.com/title/tt0078806/?ref_=sr_t_14

I live and work in the mountains of Colorado and I always say a prayer when I pass this spot on I-70, right before Eisenhower Tunnel. Thousands of people pass right below the wreck site every day without even knowing what happened right above them. There is a memorial on the side of the road but you won’t see it unless you know where to look. RIP.
Thank you sister I am Kaw and Cheyenne I live in Lawton OK so I hear more Comanche and Kiowa then I do our peoples language but I know our grandmas and grandpas lookdown at you and smile you carry they’re wisdom haho all my relations
MAY 3RD 1999: BRIDGE CREEK/MOORE OKLAHOMA F-5 TORNADO 🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪 Here’s the wording from World Famous Meteorologist Gary England concerning the infamous May 3rd 1999 F-5 Tornado 🌪 to hit Bridge Creek and the city of Moore Oklahoma: Folks you will not survive above ground! You must be in your tornado shelter or get out of the way!!! Again! You will not survive above ground! You must be in your tornado shelter or get out of the way. This is a TORNADO 🌪 EMERGENCY 🆘 🚨 FOR THE CITY OF MOORE!! 14 years later it still applies!
Does anyone know why F-4 to F5 tornadoes 🌪 in particular have evil looking faces in them? Some very disturbing images the tornadic clouds! Any reasonable answer I would like to hear. I FOUND THE ANSWER: 🌪🌪 Pareidolia: par· ei· do· lia ˌper-ˌī-ˈdō-lē-ə -ˈdōl-yə : the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern. The scientific explanation for some people is pareidolia, or the human ability to see shapes or make pictures out of randomness. Is pareidolia a mental disorder? Once considered exclusively a symptom of psychosis, pareidolia is now recognized as part of the normal human experience. In particular, our brains have evolved to detect faces quickly, which explains the human tendency to see faces everywhere, including in inanimate objects like electrical outlets or slices of toast.
Haha that makes perfect sense. This is strategic positioning of the stores. Anybody who thinks knows the country is run by racists who have an interest in bringing Mexicans blacks and everyone else down. Even lower class white folks get this type of bullshit. But you will most definitely see this in brown and black neighborhoods
An excellent bit of history about Mr. White. I was in College in Emporia in the early 1960's and a buddy of mine applied for a job and the interviewer asked him "What is Emporia famous for?" My buddy answered "William Allen White" and, of course, got the job! I went on to a thirty year military career as a pilot and got my aviation start at the Emporia airport where I got my civilian license. Emporia remains a proud Town!
A lot of West's views, particularly of Capote personally, are of his time and considering he has never read the book, his criticisms only exacerbate his bias...Capote's portrayal of the jailers where Hicock and Perry were first held, for eg, is very much the opposite of how West thinks they were portrayed. West was inarguably an incredible part of bringing these men in and compiling the evidence - his role is rightly celebrated - but In Cold Blood is not a masterpiece for just recounting a horrific crime, it is Capote's extraordinary skill and sensitivity to embody the two men who committed such a thing - without any sensationalism or deferring the whole story to an account of horror and evil beyond the understanding of "normal" folk, an aberration that was a once in a lifetime thing. Capote's brilliance was to show Hicock and Perry as very much human - as human as the the families they destroyed - but flawed and broken as so many of us are, and even then the acts they ultimately committed were absolutely open to not happening at all...Everyone has a reason for something, the question is - do those reasons justify the choices you ultimately make and enact? In Cold Blood is a tragic, sobering study into the human condition - it is so far from an ordinary detective novel that even as the good and diligent West criticizes it, he displays himself the very nuances that compile a human being. As Capote's masterpiece expressed in the first place.
Oh my!!! I was raised by a beautiful Wichita woman Eva Lois Warden-Cozad... And I remember Delores when I was a child. I can't speak it but I understand it.❤
Pawnee assimilated easily. They also sucked the toes of US military and whites becoming scouts. They were c*cks so no wonder their languages are dying. Wichita and such "nations" still exist but are completely assimimated and speak English. Their fault. You will find Dakota man barely speaking English, it sounds broken but Pawnee, Arikara and Wichita were very eager to assimilate and if some really delusionally idiot snowflake accuse me unfairly of "ignorance" he is full of b*llshit: You are an idiot.
