I have learned so much in this book. What I found to be the most interesting is the beginning of SEMO. I figured that the buildings were named after some of the people that had a major influence over the school and it was good to be able to read about some of them. It really made me feel like I got to know some of them. It even gave me a little more respect for the beginning of the school since it did have a hard start to get as big as it did. I am glad that it made it and was able to prosper since I am able to get my education through SEMO as well as my wife.
I knew that bare basics of the drainage project since I have lived here most of my life. This gave me a new understanding of how this area became the fertile farmland. This book has given me a new understanding and appreciation for the land that we have around here.
