Donald J. Hall is Chairperson of Hallmark.
It was he who oversaw the introduction of product lines for African-Americans, Hispanic, and Jewish customers.
Adele Hall,#WomenYouShouldKnow, served tirelessly for many civic boards of directors.
I recall being in the office of Don's father, Joyce Hall, admiring his accomplishments. Don and Adele's contributions have been equally significant.

Remembering Actor / Director Paul Burns:
Paul's mother enrolled him as a youngster in a theatre production at an apartment complex. He loved it.
He was so moved playing Lazar Wolf in 'Fiddler on the Roof' in school, he wanted to be Jewish for a time.
Paul earned a Master's Degree in Acting and Directing, and worked in all Kansas City theatres.
In 2009, Paul was accosted by a person, leaving him with a very long scar extending across his left cheek, down the side of his neck to his jugular vein.
We talked about having me document this story with photographs. He loved the idea, and soon after the sutures were removed, I visited him at his home.
Those images reside in my archives; I never used them in a story.
Paul passed in 2022. We miss him.
Pictured is Paul, with Krystal Heib, now Krystal Bishop.

Compounds responsible for yellow and orange-red hues in leaves, are overwhelmed by green chlorophyll during the summer.
As chlorophyll production ceases, yellow and orange flavonoids and carotenoids are visible.
Deeper reds, purples, and magentas are caused by anthocyanin, not present throughout the year. Its production is triggered only during autumn.

From side stage, I watched the faces of dozens of young children enthralled with a Halloween-inspired performance by StoneLion Puppet Theatre.
The attention span of this audience would be calculated at approximately 10 minutes, so it was remarkable they were captivated for the entire show.
