15. Living here is a bit strange.

I like Atchison very much, but it feels odd to be in the Midwest, again.
I was born in Budapest, and have some memories of the city, though we hurriedly emigrated in 1956. I grew up in Springfield, Illinois, which has a large Hungarian community. The grim winters finally drove me and my own growing family to Arizona in 1979. That was my home until this past March!
Now, I have to get used to seasons, rain, snow and other peculiarities that I've not really missed while living in the desert.
Balancing that is what's referred to as "Kansas Nice". Everybody knew about me within days of my arrival, and made me welcome!
And you are welcome to hunt me up when you visit Atchison.
