"I was concerned about bringing the accident back to him." Foster said. "The quicker he forgets it about the better off he'll
Kansas Highway Patrolman Larry Foster was uneasy yesterday when he walked into the hospital room of 5-year-old Ulysses Brinston, whom he rescued from a fiery crash earlier this week.
Bristow is the sole survivor of the crash last Sunday on I-70 in which his mother and four other members of his family were killed.
Ulysses, however, spoke first and eased Foster's mind as he walked into the room.
"Are you the one that got me out of the car?" Ulysses asked. As Foster walked toward the boy, he replied, "How, ya know him?"
Foster, dressed in his highway patrol uniform, visited the boy at the request of an area newspaper editor and the Leavenworth
"IWAS really unpleasant about the whole thing," Foster said. But Ulysses immediately recognized the patrolman, which can be very dangerous to other soldiers.
"It really kind of floored me," Foster said. "I didn't think he
would recognize me because there was so much going on at the scene.
After posing for pictures and chatting with Ulyses' stepfather, who arrived from Mississippi on Tuesday, Post asked him to give a speech about his life.
The five-year-old suffered burns on his legs and remains in fairly good condition at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. He is
Foster took Ulysses down the hall to a playroom and talked with him.
"We didn't mention the accident," Foster said, "but he told me he couldn't walk by himself vet."
"I thought he was in better condition than he seemed to be. Foster and," But I know when he came out of the ear, he picked up a book.

"I have never had this type of accident before that was this severe," Foster said.
Energy alternatives sought at expo
An energy exposition featuring seminars and displays on the use of the sun, wind, wood and landscapecaping as energy source in the outdoors. Today at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.
The theme for the exposition, which runs through this evening and will continue tomorrow, is "Explore Your Energy Alternatives.
Dave Smith, agricultural agent for the county extension service, said yesterday, "Our purpose is just to make the general information more informative energy-saving methods they have."
"We tried to look at the various basic energy conservation sources."
The exposition will be open until 10 p.m.
today and from 10 a.m. to 3:10 tomorrow.
The exposition is being sponsored by the Douglas County Extension Service. This is the energy exposition to be held by the service, Smith said.
Woodburners, heat pumps, solar energy panels and insulation techniques will be used.
The opening seminar today will be "Are We Energy Wasters?" presented by Mary Tucker, extension specialist from Kansas State University.
At 10 a.m. tomorrow, there will be seminars on solar energy, house insulation, heating pumps and landscaping plans that control air flow and solar energy.
At 7 tonight, there will be seminars on wood heating ability, solar energy in agriculture and the use of methane and gasohol as fuels.
Biggert Biggs, KU professor of electrical engineering; Tom Dean, professor of architecture and urban design; and Margaret Drake, assistant instructor of mechanical engineering, will participate in the exposition.

German orchestra to play at KU
One of the two old symphonies in the world, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, is coming from behind the iron Curtain for a 6.25-hour performance at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Hoch Auditorium.
"This is very special," Raymond Stuhl, professor enthusiastic of performance, said the university's department to the Midwest in its three centuries of existence, and it is highly doubtful it will remain.
Besides being one of the oldest, the Gwandanisha is also one of the largest or
Stuhl, who organized the KU performance, said the orchestra had 18 first violins, which gives the Gewandhaus one of the largest string sections of any orchestra.
"It took a year of negotiations with the "American Embassy in Berlin and the East Germans to make this tour possible, as well as great expense."
HE SAID Student Senate subsidies were used to bring the orchestra to the University
Mike Harper, student body president, said the Student Senate had never allocated as much money for a performance as it had in this case. The senate allocated $27,405.
"We've had increased interest, as well as greater opportunities for famous performers appearing at KU, than we've ever had," Harper said. "To Professor Stuhl's credit, KU's reputation for bringing performances like this has improved the last four or five years. We are becoming a Kind of Mecca for performances."
Stahl said he had made efforts to promote the event to KU students.
"I spoke to classes of all sizes in fields
such as economics, business and biology. There should be a great number of students from all across KU.' Stuhl said. "This is our chief aim."
Stahi said that selecting Mendelssohn's Symphony in A Major, op. 9, number 4, is the opening number was appropriate for this master interpreter of Mendelssohn in the world.
THE ORCHESTRA will be conducted by Kurt Musar, who is considered to be one of the leaders in contemporary music.
Also featured will be Peter Rosel, piano solist. He is a leading solist with East German orchestras, and was a finalist in the National Piano Competition in Moscow.
The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra was formed in 1743 by 16 townsmen and
noblemen of Leipzig, Germany, who hoped to establish their town as a musical center.
They played in private homes until 1781, when they moved into a hall that had been added to a marketplace called the Gewandhaus.
In 1834, the orchestra moved again to what is now its home, a large concert hall built by architect William Ward. The orchestra also performs at the Leipzig Opera House, where it is the official ornamental building.
