THE HISTORY OF KANOPOLIS...IN THE MAKING. JESSE MANNING.

My friend, Jesse Manning, and I spent many hours this summer visiting about things large and small. One item in particular dealt with the "history of Kanopolis".

Since I wasn't aware of written history in existence, I asked if he would "put something together" for my website, which is very lacking in that area. History is a subject that I've noticed Jesse has become increasingly interested in. He took my suggestion and ran with it.

You'll find on my website the first part, or preface, of what I expect eventually will become an in-depth history of Kanopolis. Appropriately, it's under the heading of "Kanopolis" on the navigation bar on the left.

It is going to be a wonderful experience reading the material he is compiling. This first segment will give you an idea of his ability to choose his words carefully, words that come from his heart.

As Jesse said to me, "... here's what could easily be called the preface for my history of Kanopolis.... I'd love to have questions, comments, or suggestions. This is the first of what will be a long series of updates - as you can tell from this passage, a full history may be a lengthy process, though that's the route I want to take...I've got to do it right. Let me know what you think about it."

I hope you'll read what he wrote then write Jesse and let him know what you think. It's a masterful beginning and we want it to continue.
