Kansas Briefs: Marathon Tennis Match Sets Record
In Wichita, Shannon Grate and Michael Bornholdt pursued a record 156 hours of nonstop tennis to raise funds for scholarships. They surpassed a 1988 mark, finishing at 156 hours and 8 minutes, with Grate claiming 148 sets to Bornholdt's 132. The report also covers Chanute postcard protests against local papers, Madonna Morgan’s $1 million bequest to Oberlin with matching funds and a two-year build, and federal S&L bailouts in Parsons and nearby towns. Additionally, an Oklahoma meteorite expert suggests a meteorite fragment may have fallen across eastern Kansas, near Emporia to Wichita area.
