The first time I stepped on Kansas grounds was in December 1962 when arriving at the railroad station. I was just out of the Air Force boot camp and tech school and was to check in the next day at Forbes Air Force base where I was stationed for over 3 years. I remember walking from the train station up to downtown Topeka and checked into a hotel that night and checked in at Forbes the next day. As I recall it was cold and I believe there was snow on the ground.
