RW remember my question about progressives and if they were strong in that part of Kansas?
Read this interesting little tidbit:
"Mayfield's paternal grandmother, Lydia Mayfield, was well-known in Hutchinson for her plainspokeness, Ruth Alexander said, and was once investigated by the FBI for a letter to the editor published in the local newspaper in which she threatened the president."
This sounds like some of the progressives I have met over my lifetime when they decide to in the open re their hostility towards America.

Yikes.
I will have to read the entire article.
Come to think of it, knowing Halstead.....it may be in an area with a pocket of progressives..it is near Newton, which is peacenik heaven because it is mostly Mennonite.

lol.....just talked to my mom and she said "Lydia Mayfield.....I know her from the newspaper! Her name was in there all the time."
Apparently she wrote letters to the editor quite often. My mom never read her crap though.
