From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Mar. 9, 1986:

• Kansas University Medical Center had recently hosted an “Aerophobic Clinic” to help people who suffered from fear of flying. One participant said that she had decided to seek help after she found herself turning down a free trip to Hawaii because she was too claustrophobic to board the airplane. Most, but not all, of the 125 people who had attended the program so far had been able to conquer the worst of their fears. According to Walter H. Gunn, the psychologist leading the program, some of the participants might never be comfortable while flying, but they would at least be able to do so without having a panic attack.
• The city of Baldwin was still working to get a tourist railroad on the abandoned Santa Fe Railway tracks between Ottawa and Baldwin. Residents had previously staged a fund-raising drive to buy back the tracks from the railway. The Midland Railroad Historical Society of Grandview, Mo., had agreed to provide a diesel locomotive, steam engine, and three passenger cars for Baldwin.
