The ice storm we had the first week of January 2005 was one to remember. Many parts of the city of Wichita and almost all of the surrounding area were without power for close to a week.

I worried that little Kaci, 2 1/2 years old but wearing pajamas in size 6 - 9 months, would be too cold even with a fire and bundled up sleeping bags. I was relieved to get a hotel room with electricity for several days until the power returned.

The photo opportunities were great once the sun returned and began melting the thick ice.
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
