Hansen Dane G Memorial Museum Assn

In Logan, KS I visited the Hansen Memorial Museum. This is a pretty little town and the museum is clearly a central point of the town, placed just like a courthouse square. Hansen was a wealthy self-​made confidant of Eisenhower, and created a foundation to enhance the cultural and social lives of people in tiny Logan. If I lived there I would be attending every function. There was a more-​than-​creditable temporary exhibit of rag rug artisans from Michigan, and also a re-​created office of the 1950s and 60s. I felt quite at home there! Hansen’s sister was a thirty-​year resident of Sendai, Japan! They had some of her items there too. I was so pleased to make that connection. She retired to little Logan after many years of service and then died in her home. I wonder if she thought of Japan? Hard not to. I’m sure her soul flew there when she died. She was a music teacher. How wonderful. I did not enjoy a truck parked in front of me, festooned with anti-​Obama bumper stickers. «It’s time to flush this turd away»??? I don’t think a Republican like Hansen would have stood for that.
