Likins has spent his entire life in Kansas. He grew up in the small town of Canton, northeast of Hutchinson in McPherson County. A shoulder injury forced him to retire almost two years ago. At first Likins said the thought of moving to an isolated and small community was anything but charming. But I liked the country.
People are so friendly.
When I was growing up, my whole thing was I wanted to be standing in my backyard and talking to the neighbor over the fence.
