About Larry Hatteberg

For nearly 35 years, I’ve traveled the state of Kansas, bringing stories of “real” people to life through a series called “Hatteberg’s People,” the longest running television news series in Kansas.

In the early 1990s, I published two best-selling books that profiled 160 Kansans who make the state a unique place to live. A few years later, I took the same concept and turned it into a collection of VHS tapes which continue the tradition of featuring people in Kansas. Some of those stories and some of the ones that have followed them are captured forever in a new DVD series.

I enjoy telling these stories, and often get requests for them. So, I selected 30 of these stories - stories from the city and from the farm, added some special features, and put them on the first of a series of DVDs that tell stories of Kansas people who either by the way they live their life, or the way life has “lived” them, have a message for the rest of us. I expect many will enjoy this first in a series of unique Kansas DVDs made possible by the great stories of the Kansas people, seemingly ordinary people who enlighten us with their stories, stories that are full of extraordinary lessons for life.
