Wicked Wichita - A look at Wichita's early crimes, criminals and law enforcers
Wicked Wichita - A look at Wichita's early crimes, criminals and law enforcers

Joe was born and raised in Alton, Il., which Newsweek once described as a “dirty little river town.” Joe prefers to think of it as the home of Robert Wadlow, the world’s tallest man.

He studied at the University of Missouri. Worked for newspapers in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas covering politics, crime, and everything in between. Joe moved to Wichita in late 1999 to become the Eagle’s food editor.

After getting “downsized” in 2009 he worked as a freelance writer for the New York Times, Aerospace America, Agence-France Presse, and many other publications and clients. He became editor of The Active Age two years ago.

Joe enjoys playing music, cooking, working out, and tending chickens with his wife, Carrie Rengers, who’s also a writer. They live in Riverside. “Wicked Wichita” is his first book.

CLUB ANNOUNCEMENTS
Happy Basket
We had a trial run doing our Happy Basket on last week's zoom meeting. Members were catching on to raising their hand to be called on and unmuting to talk. It was decided the best way to "collect" for Happy Basket items is to do it on the honor system. So keep track, and there will be a space on the next dues statement for you to add in that fee.
Birthday Recognitions
Attend at least one of our zoom meetings during your birthday month and your name will be put in a drawing to receive a $25 mystery gift certificate. The drawing will be held the first meeting of the following month. So, if you have a birthday in July, this is your last chance to attend a meeting this month to be eligible!

The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do:
  1. Is it the TRUTH?
  2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
  3. Will it build GOODWILL and better FRIENDSHIPS?
  4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
