On March 1st, our team at Harris|Kelsey took over as the management team at KAPA-KRMCA. We are learning a lot about Ready Mixed concrete and aggregates in Kansas. #WeMakeConcrete
Great turnout at our May Concrete Forum! We dug into why concrete with Portland Limestone Cement is more sensitive to placing/finishing, with thanks to Megan Dangel (Central Plains Cement) for insights on chemistry, scaling, and best practices. #KansasConcrete #KansasAggregates

25 years ago, I got my first job after law school thanks to then Chief Judge Marla Luckert—now Chief Justice of the KS Supreme Court. She recently nominated me for the Topeka Bar’s Liberty Bell Award & showed up today for the presentation. Full circle—and so kind. #KScourts

4 teams of @KUJournalism students spent the spring at our zoo working on their capstone projects. Tonight, these students presented their projects to us. I was blown away with their level of professionalism, their quality of work, and their recommendations. #RockChalk @TopekaZoo
