For years when my Dad saw an article on a place he might want to visit he cut it out and put it in folders organized by state. Then a couple years ago I met my folks on the road so we could go camping together. When we turned for home we debated on which route to take across Kansas. My Dad pulled out his folder and handed me the one for that state. I browsed through the articles until one caught my eye. The next day we visited the improbable
Cosmosphere & Space Center in Hutchinson, KS. The museum contains quite a collection of artifacts documenting the history of space exploration. The most surprising of these was the Mercury space capsule Liberty Bell 7 that sunk into the depths of the ocean when it's hatch opened prematurely. Without Dad's old clippings we'd never have known this interesting place existed.
