Mary Sanchez of the Kansas City Star writes about Buck O'Neil and his influence on the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. The museum and Kansas State University are developing a curriculum for high schools in the area to use about the Negro Leagues and to sponsor field trips to the museum.
Did I ever get to go on a field trip that interesting in school? No. I got to go to the William S. Hart Museum once. I went to Catholic school and lived about two miles away from this place and never went there. We never got taken here or here.
Hart Museum sucks! Then again, I'm a Canyon HS grad - everything Hart sucks!
You never went to the Tarpits? My friend, as an 8-10 year old there is nothing cooler than the trip to the tarpits. I can still remember a sabertooth tiger statue stuck in the tar.
I live in AZ now, how is the LA Zoo these days? I heard it went downhill.
I guess the Whittier School District in the 1960s really rocked. Except for the movie, I went to ALL the places you listed, although the mission was San Gabriel. In addition, I also went to Olvera Street, The Herald Examiner, Bell Brand Foods, Pellisier Dairy, Alta-Dena Dairy, Helms Bakery and some sort of botanical gardens in or near Pasadena. And those are just the trips I remember 40 years later. No wonder I'm such a bastion of culture. Yeah, right.
