Got the wonderful chance to meet and greet former 'Hawks at Jefferson's West restaurant in Lawrence! Present were Elijah Johnson, Tyshawn Taylor, Darrell Arthur, Perry Ellis, and Landen Lucas. Two other slender young men were sitting with the group but were not recognizable, and the sound system was terrible, so if they were identified I didn't hear their names.
Each player had pictures taken with fans, but Perry Ellis and Landen Lucas seemed to be the favorites of the afternoon. Perry is much better looking than I remember, and was quietly gracious to the many folks who wanted to take picture with him. Darrell was a late comer but was also friendly and accessible to those who wanted some of his time.
Norm Roberts also made a showing; nice to see him, also.
It appeared that many fans bought t-shirts bearing the team's name, so I hope they made some traveling money for their Wichita appearances!
