Jean Shepherd - "Great Plains of Kansas"

Shep travels across the Kansas prairie on an army troop train; the fear of wide open spaces; and The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. This is a WOR radio show recording from June 2, 1966. [Audio is public domain. Photo © by Fred W. McDarrah, used with permission.]

I've been listening to Shep since 1963, thanks to my dad, and he never ceases to amaze me. Often, I'm still just mesmerized by his stories. This spisode is one of those. Thanks.

Having grown up on the plains of western Kansas/eastern Colorado I relate very well to what he's saying. It is just as he describes it.
