We took a trip to South Dakota a few years ago, before dad passed, and it is an interesting state. We went there to tour the Minuteman Missile National Park, and had a good week.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, dad was working for Boing, on the setup of the Minuteman launch centers.
50 years after I began teaching and we’re reading one of the first student/teacher conversations I experienced. And it definitely was not the last of its kind.
Assigned a short story to read overnight. One student very smugly replied, ‘I don’t read a lot.’ I suggested the one letter grade he would earn with that attitude only required knowing the first 6 letters of the alphabet and discarding A thru E. Don’t remember now if he ever figured it out before reports were issued, but his grade made it clear.

Wonder if the Capital is Deadwood, in the Black Hills? (Doris would know). Or maybe Yankton, on the southern border?

For most of my life I pronounced the name of the capitol incorrectly. The pronunciation of the capitol sounds like peer.

There should only be one Dakota – they still won’t have enough population for a proper state.
