One love story to another

“I don't know where I'm getting my strength, except through God.”

BURRTON UNITES FOR FAMILY

Sam and Mike Baumann are the center of one big love story. A couple of kids from the same town, they didn't really know each other -- he's four years older -- until she graduated from high school and they started dating.

Their life is full of the details that small towns such as Burrton, 30 miles northwest of Wichita, seem to produce: They've been married for 17 years. They live a quarter-mile from his folks. He farms part time with his dad. She stays home with their two daughters. Read more

Kansan played Doc in 'Gunsmoke'

This is one in a series of vignettes celebrating Kansas history. The series' name comes from the state motto, Ad astra per aspera: 'To the stars through difficulties.'

For 500 episodes on Saturday nights, Milburn Stone was Kansas' most beloved son.

He played cranky but lovable 'Doc' Galen Adams on the CBS series 'Gunsmoke' from 1955 through 1975.

Stone was born July 5, 1904, near Burrton. He graduated from Burrton High School in 1922.

While in school, he decided he wanted to be an actor, even though he gained an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy and considered a career in the Navy. Read more
