City, Bret Michaels have long history

March 20 at 12:08 a.m.

Bret Michaels has a long, long relationship with Wichita, and I should know.

Feb. 6 at 12:04 a.m.

As if there was ever any doubt, Kansas is perfectly capable of producing star-caliber residents. Just last week on this page, writer Bob Curtright produced a 74-inch story about Kansans who went on to make it big in film and television.
