The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

THE BLUEGRASS BROADCAST
DRIVEN AND TREBLEMAKERS AT SILVER DOLLAR CITY
BY KARLA CAMPBELL AND ANGIE RUBLE
Bluegrass fans at Silver Dollar City got a great dose
of Kansas bluegrass two weekends in a row. The Bar
-B-Que & Bluegrass Festival kicked off right, with
Driven at the Gazebo stage for the first weekend,
May 11-13. Band members Blake McLemore, Jake
& Rebekah Workman, Jimmy Campbell and Brandon
McLemore posed for a photo in front of their sign,
just to prove it really happened! They had a busy
schedule with their first performance at 8:50 in the
morning each day as a prelude to the official flag rais-
ing ceremony held each morning at the main en-
trance of the park. The group played 4 shows each
day, and had time between shows to do what all
young bands love to do at Silver Dollar City . . .ride
the roller coasters and eat home made ice
cream. They were honored to have Rhonda Vincent
and her parents,Johnny and Carolyn Vincent, attend
a Saturday morning show. Driven will be playing the
Vincent's Sally Mountain Park festival July 5-8. Sat-
urday evening, the band welcomed Darrell Webb to
their cabin for an impromptu jam. Darrell was play-
ing with legendary singer James King and the two
bands happened to be staying in the same re-
sort. Sunday evening, Driven rehearsed the 12 origi-
nal songs they're recording on their new CD which
they hope to have ready for their appearance at the
Walnut Valley Festival in September.
After months of practice, The Treblemakers loaded
up in a 15 passenger van and took off on a road trip
to Branson, Missouri to compete in the National Sin-
gle Mic Competition at Silver Dollar City on Friday,
May 17th
. Twenty-two bands from 11 states com-
peted in the fray on Saturday. In order to compete,
each band had to play a set limited to six minutes in
each round. The kids played Slewfoot (sung by Alyssa
Carlson) and Angeline the Baker in the first round and
Bugle Call Rag, Hey, Good Lookin’ (sung by Caitlyn
Carlson) and Freeborn Man (sung by Dawson Tarrant)
in the second. Bands were judged on timing, tuning,
professionalism, degree of difficulty, crowd response

Condolences
The entire KBA family offers condolences to Delbert Reser
and family on the passing of Mae Reser on May 14th. Her
services were held on Saturday, May 18th. Delbert wrote
the following to be shared with our KBA members.
I, and my family, are so appreciative of all the thoughts and prayers
that were offered during Mae’s long illness. We were overwhelmed so
see so many bluegrass friends at the visitation and Saturday morn-
ing’s service. Mere words cannot express our thanks for your support
and kindness, especially during her final weeks. Many memories
were made that I will remember and cherish forever.
Thanks to all.

and the like.
The Treblemakers drew spot 17 for the
morning round and 20 in the after-
noon. Directed by Jimmy Campbell
and Karla (via text messages) they
dressed to the nines and spent their
time waiting by practicing, jamming
with new friends, and pining for rides
on roller coasters and ice cream. The
competition was stiff and they played
their hearts out, leaving it all on stage.
The crowd’s favorite was Angeline the
Baker. It must have been the rock-n-
roll moves the kids added for a little
humor.
In the end, the Treblemakers didn’t
place in the top six (whose scores were
very close), but received some nice
feedback from employees and fans at
Silver Dollar City and some talk of pos-
sible gig offers. The kids handled themselves well and
were gracious in not placing. The rest of the weekend
was filled with card games, singing for ice cream, stay-
ing up too late, and riding every ride possible and eating
God only knows how much. Despite what their name
might imply, they represented the KBA very well. You
should be proud.
Of course trips like this don’t just happen without a lot
of support and planning. The kids and their parents
would like to thank the following people who made it
happen: the KBA for the opportunity to play in a band,
Damn Music in Wichita for donating instruments to
raffle off, fans for buying raffle tickets and encouraging
words and support, Dan and Colleen Bruce for the use
of their pickin’ shed and hospitality, Jimmy and Karla
Campbell for all their time, talent, food and home
shared, and Mark Johnson for his wonderful teaching on
how to wow the crowd and work a single mic. ♪

MAY PICIN’ PICNIC RECAP
BY BRUCE JOHNSON
The Council Grove pickin' picnic was well attended
again this year. When I arrived Thursday afternoon I
found several folks already there making the best of the
local attractions – a few of our campers arrived as early
as Tuesday. Some of the activities enjoyed over the
weekend, besides the music, included bicycling, kayak-
ing, and bird watching.
Several groups went into Council Grove on Thursday
and/or Friday evening to eat at the Hays House. This is
a historic restaurant that dates back to 1857 and sits
today in the same location it was back then. I ate there
on Thursday evening and the food did not disappoint; I
can recommend the brisket.
Later Thursday we caught a jam near Larry Welsh's
camper which started the beginning of a full weekend of
jams. There was nearly always a jam to drop in on from
afternoon on for the rest of the weekend. Several folks
attending were from the Manhattan/Topeka area. I
joined the jam at Jim and Leslie Campbell's camper for
a while and had a good visit with them. I see a lot of
these folks at Flag camp during the Winfield Wal-
nut Valley festival and they always have a good jam.
Ronnie and Cindy Kendall, Renee Eberlee, and Kathy
Tidwell invited me to go along on a bike ride up the
"rails to trails" path Friday morning. The trail starts in
Council Grove and you ride until you get tired and
come back. We all had a great time and saw some great
Flint Hills scenery. I also learned all these trails have no
more than a 5% grade because the old trains couldn't
climb any more. That works out pretty well for a nov-
ice bike rider like myself. The trail was mostly smooth
packed gravel that was easy to ride on. Friday evening
brought another fine meal for about a dozen
of us at Hays House.
Several campers drove to Mae Reser’s fu-
neral Saturday morning in Newton. Deep-
est sympathy goes to Delbert and family
from all his fellow pickers.
I counted 37 at the potluck Saturday night
and Kathy Tidwell estimated we had about

50 campers attending for the week-
end. That is a good turnout considering
the number of school graduations
that happen on that third weekend of
May. So much food! Then, Michelle
Yoder lead a small group in a gospel sing
at their camper Sunday morning. It
made a nice ending of the weekend for
me. There was only one small thunder-
storm Saturday night. Kenny and Tena
Lungren braved the storm in their
tent. The weather otherwise was very
nice.

I recently returned from the most memorable music
experience I’ve ever had. I attended fiddle camp in
Nashville, Tennessee for four days over Memorial Day
weekend. This fiddle camp was put on by Megan
Lynch, a six time national fiddle champion, touring
musician and outstanding fiddle teacher who makes her
living now teaching fiddle in the Nashville area.
This fiddle camp was for adults only and limited to 15
students. Therefore, we got lots of individual attention
from the instructors and didn’t have to worry about
being upstaged by some hotshot 11-year-old. The stu-
dents attending were from all over the country, includ-
ing two from Canada and one from the Cayman Islands.
Our skill levels were quite varied but everyone was
there to learn and open to putting themselves out there
to learn new things.
Our instructors were amazing. Besides each one being
a top notch fiddle player, they were first and foremost
teachers and truly interested in helping us improve our
skills. Besides Megan, the other instructors included
Jim VanCleve (fiddler for Mountain Heart), Deanie
Richardson (toured with Patty Loveless, Vince Gill,
and currently with The Chieftains), and Hoot Hester
(part of the Grand Old Opry staff band and worked
with Earl Scruggs until his death).
Each day was filled with small group sessions on differ-
ent fiddling aspects, including : learning fills and play-
ing back-up, different fiddle styles such as western

swing and Irish, learning the fiddle capo technique, har-
mony singing, twin fiddling, learning new fiddle tunes,
and working on chops and vibrato. Thank goodness I
had my iPad to record most of the sessions because
there was so much great information shared with us, it
will take me months to go over it all again to try to
fully absorb it.
The evening of our first day of camp we went to The
Violin Shop, a favorite destination for most Nashville
musicians to get their fiddles worked on or to purchase
new instruments. They opened the shop to us after

hours and we had a chance for their luthiers to check
out our instruments and buy new bows, fiddles, or
other equipment. By the way, they have great prices
and very skilled luthiers, so I highly recommend stop-
ping in if you are ever in Nashville. After our shop-
ping spree, our instructors put on a fiddle tune con-
cert and they were joined by The Violin Shop staff,
who are performing artists in their own right. It was
an evening of jaw-dropping fiddle music that I will
never forget.
The second evening of camp, we had planned to stay
at the house after dinner for a jam amongst ourselves
and that did happen. However, David Grier, who is a
friend of Megan and her family, came over for dinner
and late in the evening he and Megan started playing
tunes together that ended up in a two to three hour
concert. If you don’t recognize his name, David is
considered to be one of the premier flatpicking gui-
tarists in the world. He has been named "Guitar
Player of the Year" by the IBMA three times. Need-
less to say, this was another, almost unbelievable, music
experience.
Our last night of camp was also memorable because we
got to go to The Station Inn and we heard the Tina Adair
Band. One thing that made this especially fun was that
the banjo player in this band, Sim Daley, is married to
the woman who was our cook during camp. And, be-
sides being our camp cook, Missy Daley is also a fiddle
player in a band and has just put out a CD. It seems eve-
ryone in Nashville is a musician.
To sum up my fiddle camp experience, I knew before I
went that I was destined to have a good time; I just
never imagined that it would be half
the musical experience it turned out
to be. I can’t wait until next year.
