Jack Kilby Weekend —October 12-14, 2001

On the weekend of October 12-14, 2001, Great Bend will honor a hometown boy who went on to change the world. For the time being, this web site will provide information about plans for the weekend. After the event, we'll share photos of the events. We also hope to provide an on-line repository for information about Kilby's boyhood in Great Bend. If you have anything to contribute, please contact the webmaster at don@shorock.com.
