“We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Grandview Ranch in the Flint Hills. What a special place and you even served to enhance our experience. Your presentation about the history of place and people helped to bring it alive.” Mo. and Larry G., Overland Park, KS
Jan grew up in the small western Kansas town of Hill City, in the 50's and 60's. Roaming the pastures, fields and creek bottoms, Jan spent his time with a few other bare footed, bare backed buddies creating dugouts, tree houses, and tarzan swings. . .
