Pageants Assistants Backbone Of Wichita Easter Service
Wichita Mountains Easter Service pageant organizers and 16 assistant directors, led by Executive Director Jack Batten, guide 22 years of service in staging the annual event April 2 in the Holy City of the Wichitas. Veterans Reece Russell and Ruth Blasingame head long histories, with roles across scenes from reading cast to Mary Magdalene, and others like Leroy Botkin and Frank McFarland overseeing multiple groups amid retirements and health issues. John Carter, a 19-year pageant veteran, died Friday, prompting tribute to his service and his wife’s continued participation.
