    I remember The Kansas Farm By Doris Schroeder
    Doris Schroeder The new laws that legislators try to put into our country sometimes do not make sense. On the other hand, I am pleased that sometimes, when they realize all the ins and outs of changing something completely, and of course, hear the reasons why they would not be good for our country, they rethink their position. Such was the case in not going ahead with...

    Remember when The feelings of a grandmother
    Doris Schroeder I did a lot of thinking when I was as young as three and a half, especially when my older sister, Luella, was accidentally shot and killed by a neighbor boy. I guess that is why I was always looking for the deeper meaning of life. My parents were extra kind to me when I was young because of our tragedy. John and I were married after I  graduated from high...

    I remember The last day at the country school
    Even though the coarse sound of the crows woke me up in the early hours of an April morning, I hopped out of bed with a happy jump. Today was the last day of school in the one-room country school of Sunrise, located 1 mile north of 82nd St. on Sunrise Road and 3/4 mile east. Doris Schroeder It was here I had spent 5 of my 7 years of school and the kids in this building...

    I remember We CAN make a difference!
    Doris Schroeder As my hubby John and I have lived in Hutchinson most of the 61 years we have been married, we have seen exciting things come and go to our fair city. I must add it was both sad but exciting when the mall came to our town 27 years ago. We all saw this as progress, at least at that time. It was distressing because of the downtown stores that would take a...

    I remember Birthdays and Taxes
    Doris Schroeder Having a birthday on April 17 has meant that many times my holiday falls on the day everyone looks forward to…tax time. That in itself is an anxious thought in that it is absolutely no fun to be getting older. I suppose, however, my parents didn’t have that day planned out very well, anyways, because the day I was born, they were both teaching in...

    I remember A taste of Mexico in the 70′s
    Doris Schroeder Flying vacations reached their popularity peak in the 70′s through the 90′s period. The carpet companies we did business with did not let us down and we literally got to see the world for a week in the winter each year. In one of  the winters in the 70′s, we had the privilege to fly to Mexico City  and then to Ixtapa for a few days with...

    I remember March through basketball & life By Doris Schroeder
    Doris Schroeder We have just “marched”ed  through the basketball season again and it does seem that each year I get more enthralled. Of course, since I am still recuperating, I have had more time to follow the great Kansas teams. The subject of basketball and operations are somewhat intertwined so I hope you will excuse me to mention my operation one more time…especially...

    Medora lives on!
    Doris Schroeder A recent article about Medora in the Hutchinson News caught my eye. I have many recollections of this little place on the map. A church, unusually large for the little hamlet of Medora, is where the center of the little unincorporated town lies. This is the kind of church many people are seeking today…the pastors preach from the Bible and follow...

    I remember Wearing green in America!
    Doris Schroeder We celebrated the “wearing of the green” on March 17 in order to remember the life of St. Patrick. All I know is that he was supposedly a saint of some renown. I have discovered he was born at the end of the 4th Century in Britain. He was captured when he was 16 and enslaved for six years. During that time he became a Christian, and escaped from Ireland,...

    I remember A taste of Spain in 1974
    Doris Schroeder Our carpet company trips took us many places and the one to Spain in 1974 will always stand out in my memory. We were struck by the difference between our country and theirs and found we enjoy many more freedoms in the U.S. First of all, it came one week after my father had suddenly passed away from a heart attack at 74. I really had to think hard if it...
