Melinda,
I loved your last two articles in the AAA Kansas magazine first on the Negro League Museum and second on the new AA ballpark in Wichita. I’m looking forward to baseball back in Wichita.

Thanks for the message, David. I’ve been out to one Wichita State University baseball game so far this year (on a warm, sunny day in late February) and that is one more game that I got to in 2020, so it’s a good start!
