Judge on the Kansas Court of Appeals. Long involvement in children's issues. Presently am involved in early child literacy efforts. A group of us are organized under the name of "Read To Kids -- Kansas." Our goal is that every child in Kansas will be read to every day for at least 20 minutes beginning at a very early age. We hope to do this by pushing the concept of reading to children and helping to make books more available.
