Q: Is it okay to remove barn swallow’s nests?
Again, thank you for the diversity of questions submitted. I learn from each one.
Although the barn swallow can create quite a mess, it is actually illegal to remove their nests. The following is what I have learned about these creatures and their nests:
Education was considered highly important in the eyes of John Mann’s late wife, Phyllis Marie Walsten Mann.
Phyllis attended a one-room country school in Reno County. She completed her high school education at Hutchinson High School and then completed a pre-nursing program at the community college. In 1951, she received her bachelors of science in nursing from the University of Kansas, then was employed at KU Medical Center. She took a short leave of absence in 1961 to earn her masters of nursing from the University of Washington in Seattle.
A few weeks ago I answered a question about where I had been while I was out of the office and what I had been working on. I explained the work I have been doing in writing a manual and recently giving a presentation with Pam Kramer, the President of ITP International Inc. Pam is a successful performance consultant, career specialist and executive coach with a master's degree in Counseling in Career and Organizational Development.

Q: Why are bananas curved?
A: Thank you for the light-hearted questions. I enjoyed the research, and now I know a bit about bananas. Here is what I discovered in my research.
Bananas are curved due to a phototropic chemical in their makeup called Auxin, which is an important part of the way plant organs are shaped. In particular, the banana fruit grows upward and inward due to Auxin's attraction to the sun, causing its familiar curved shape.
Gather together as a community to send off two Meadowlark Hills residents as they venture to Washington D.C. as part of the Honor Flight Network.

Q: Annie, you were out of the office the last week for a few days, what were you up to?
A: Thank you for noticing. I was invited to speak at a leadership conference in California, over the leadership program I have been co-writing.
