Mark Wentling likes to tell people he was born and raised in Kansas, but made in Africa. Originally from El Dorado and Udall, Wentling spent more than 50 years in Africa, working first for the Peace Corps and then later for USAID. He was inducted this month into Wichita State’s Fairmount College Hall of Fame, returning to the place where his long journey began in the late 1960s.
Also, sometimes the little places you pass every day hold much more significance than you realize. In this month’s Hidden Kansas, Beccy Tanner takes us to one such spot.
