Lecompton Lane University dedication guest David Eisenhower
The 1982 dedication of Lecompton's Lane University building featured special guest David Eisenhower, with his great grandparents once meeting there. After eight years of renovation, the Lecompton Historical Society celebrated the rededication and preservation of local history. Cottonwood Inc. named Howard Hasler director, succeeding Gary Condra who plans an elderly and handicapped private residential program. Condra had served a decade, and Wescoe in 1967 urged Regents to reexamine the student faculty ratio at Kansas University. Local crop losses exceeded 300000 due to ultra wet weather, with rains flattening wheat and Kaw River flood risk staying below 18 feet. In 1907, Lawrence Daily World notes tax income from Kansas Insurance Dept. set records, and Jamestown Virginia faced a fatal fire near the exposition grounds. Potatoes sold for 1 per bushel as the first new crop reached the market.
