To the editor:

Hello, I am Katelyn Flora, a sixth grader at Brethren Heritage School in Modesto, Calif. We are doing state reports this year in our history class. I have chosen to do my report on your state of Kansas.

The Baldwin City/Lawrence area of Kansas is important to me because I have a heritage in the Baldwin City area. My great-grandparents, Lloyd and Vera Beeghley, lived all their lives, 96 years and 99 years, in Willow Springs Township. I have wonderful memories of playing on hay bales, tractor rides and going cat fishing on their farm.

If you should happen to read this, I would greatly appreciate receiving any information or items regarding your state. You could send pictures, tourists attraction information, trivia about your state, or anything that would cause me to be more familiar with your state.

Please send to: Katelyn Flora, C/O Brethren Heritage High, 3459 Dakota Avenue, Modesto, Calif. 95358.

Thank you very much for helping me with my state report. I will appreciate any help you can give me.

Katelyn Flora
