Great swimmer, and a great kid! High speed, low drag!

Congrats to another former player Ellie Chambers for chasing her dreams and records in the pool. She is headed to State for the breaststroke, 100 IM, and relays. Keep chasing those records Ellie. @CC_Coaching_ELA @AntiochMS @ANMS_SRO_BARDEN

Congratulations! That is excellent!! Good luck in the next round! Regardless, you’ve set yourself a part and earned a well deserved honor.

[Jeff Benes @citzsold]

Gladstone is an amazing community when @NKCSchools pairs with @americanlegion! Thank you, @AntiochMS for honoring our kids!

[Jeff Benes @citzsold]

@MCronk_KC Beautiful, heart filled memories.

[Jeff Benes @citzsold]

@MCronk_KC @BRES_Bears That is one handsome fellow in the middle, there.

[Jeff Benes @citzsold]

@AntiochMS What is she holding? Are those new to Antioch? So cool, and what a great hands on learning experience those kids must be getting.

[Jeff Benes @citzsold]

@MCronk_KC @VCP_HQ Fan of VCP. Honestly, I need time to process a coherent response to rest. I have not seen the doc you referenced, only watched trailer. My gut reaction to yr question is simple: stop putting vets on pedestals. We are citizens and need to earn our place, not be tool for politics.

@MCronk_KC @kathleen_belew I read her book, “bring the war Home”, as a gen x vet who was shaped by Viet Vet dialogues. Hit hard. I have it if you haven’t read it. The movement is years in the making. And we are mere weeks from 4/19. Thanks for recommendation.

A group of @AntiochMS played the roles of presidents and advisors in Truman’s decision to desegregate the military. They dug through docs, and presented to each other. Ended the day with a tour of the museum and a pass to return later for more time to look around. Very proud!

[Jeff Benes @citzsold]

@GarfieldNPS , hanging out at @TrumanLibrary, working through the #whdc. Look he decided to hang out in the room where it happened. I hope he has his security clearance up to date, as the documents were formerly classified.

@OneChalkArmy That is awesome! Great problem solving. I’ll have to borrow that. Thank you for sharing. My favorite part of a drum line is the way it feels in my chest. But this will take me to those times. Appreciated!

[Jeff Benes @citzsold]

@OneChalkArmy Short weeks are always the hardest, which makes absolutely no sense. But, if you need some one to crowd share the cost for drum line, I’m in. Attended a conference that started with drum line welcoming guests. Sets the day.

Human connections make a difference.

Lisa was a year ahead of me in high school and we’ve occasionally bumped into one another around town. I didn’t know her well at all but I remember her as warm and kind. What a terrible, senseless loss. I pray for her kids. Awful. https://t.co/rgj9uz2qEE

@GarfieldNPS @taylorswift13 @tkelce Ok, sounds like you are throwing your hat behind KC, or at least two mugs.

[Jeff Benes @citzsold]

@GarfieldNPS Just going to keep dropping in like this. . . McKinley and the Wizard of Oz. . . McKinley and the Leonard Wood, John Pershing, so many beautiful connections.

[Jeff Benes @citzsold]

@GarfieldNPS Quoth the Raven, "Go Chiefs!" Between the Eagles and Ravens, the Chiefs have appreciated the sportmanship; both with strong ties to Poe. If only South Carolina had an NFL team, KC would like to challenge them, as well.

[Jeff Benes @citzsold]

@GarfieldNPS @GarfieldNPS, going to leave the decision to you, but as far as history, tied to our dear president, Kansas City seems to have the edge. Nice statue, though. And an incredible team, those 49ers. Good luck to all. Just tossing my three cents forward. Keep up the tweets!

[Jeff Benes @citzsold]

@GarfieldNPS @GarfieldNPS, if we are doing a deep dive here, the 49ers and California wouldn't be near as populated without the launching pad of Independence, MO, which is just 1 mile away GEHA stadium. In other words, the California Trail starts in Kansas City. The 49ers left from KC.
