Journal-World seeks Flag Day entries

The official flag for the city of Lawrence – yes, we do have one – shows a phoenix flying from the ashes. It’s a timeless image of the city rising from the ashes of the 1863 Quantrill’s Raid on Lawrence. But as Flag Day approaches June 14, we wonder: If you could create your own flag representing present-day Lawrence, what would it be? We want to know what images would best represent Lawrence in a present-day flag. Please submit your suggestions on or before June 9. Submissions can be made to trombeck@ljworld.com or to Terry Rombeck at 645 New Hampshire St., Lawrence 66044. Be sure to include your name, age, a written explanation of what’s on your flag and a telephone number where can reach you. A selection of the submissions will appear in the June 14 Journal-World. More will appear at www.ljworld.com.
