// LAURA ERDALL
> EMMA CASEY, OVERLAND PARK SENIOR, IS MAJORING IN FLUTE PERFORMANCE. SHE IS GOING TO GRADUATE SCHOOL NEXT YEAR TO EARN A MASTER'S DEGREE IN FLUTE PERFORMANCE AT THE CHICAGO COLLEGE OF PERFORMING ARTS AT ROOSEVELT UNIVERSITY
I would want to go back to the night I saw the Flaming Lips live at Wakarusa. Nothing beats seeing your favorite band live while surrounded by thousands of super high hippies.
Penny, my adorable Pekingese. She was my pet throughout most of my childhood and was always by my side.She had more personality than some people I know.
Life in prison. This seems pretty obvious, but I would much rather be alive than dead. Plus, I feel like I could easily make friends with the other inmates.
Super intelligence — it seems like a much more valuable life skill. Anyone can be strong with a little bit of work, but intellect is harder to come by.
A double vodka tonic — it's straight to the point and classic.
IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME, WHERE WOULD YOU GO?
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PET AS A CHILD?
WOULD YOU RATHER SPEND LIFE IN PRISON OR BE EXECUTED?
WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE SUPER STRENGTH OR SUPER INTELLIGENCE?
IF YOU COULD BE AN ALCOHOLIC DRINK, WHAT WOULD YOU BE AND WHY?
JOSHUA CROSS
> JOSHUA CROSS IS A GUITARIST AND SONGWRITER FOR THE BAND GIVE HER THE GUN, HE IS ALSO A GUITARIST FOR, JUSTIN MOORE, WHO JUST FINISHED TOURING WITH MIRANDA LAMBERT. JOSHUA WILL TOUR WITH RASCAL FLATTS BEGINNING JUNE 18TH THROUGH SEPTEMBER
I would probably go back to a July 4th spent at my grandparents' house. To this day, fishing, cold watermelon and fireworks still remind me of what heaven should be a little bit like.
I had a cocker spaniel that went by the name of Chase. We lived out in the country, and though most [spaniels] were the indoor/backyard type, Chase loved to swim in the lake, pester the cows and just roam his domain.
Executed. A life without free will isn't one worth living, I am afraid. Ol' Mel Gibson was right on with that Braveheart business...
Super intelligence. You can always hoodwink those swelled-up dudes with your smarts. And I was never any good at math. This would make me good at math, right?
Four Roses Kentucky Bourbon on the rocks, if you please. You always know what you are going to get with that drink.

The Miller House, 1111 E. 19th St., served as a hideout for escaped slaves, a pit stop for Quantrill and his band of raiders and, now, is home to retired professor Dennis Dailey and his wife.
When anti-slavery activist Robert Miller moved his family to Lawrence from South Carolina they built a farmhouse that served as part of the Underground Railroad. Escaped slaves would hide in a treed area to the east known as Miller's Grove or sleep in the smokehouse before moving onto freedom.
the Miller House, the largest item in Dennis Dailey's history collection. The house, built in 1858, was never meant to draw attention, and is perhaps why it survives as one of the area's only remnants of the Underground Railroad.

"I've always had kind of an interest in history, just in general," Dailey said. "Like in college I was interested in history classes, but when we began to live in this home, it reeked of history. It just reeks of history and I became fascinated with that."
"They found out about this place down at the visitor center or something and they just drive in. I go out and welcome them and tell them the story and it is absolutely astounding watching their experience at this place, tears — it's just amazing," Dailey said.
People still explore the Lawrence landmark today.
A barn and open landscape, unorthodox in the modern suburban setting, testify to the legacy of this historic site.
"In the summer, the trees get real full and there less people here. You
many of the community's buildings. But the residence has history with William Quantrill himself, a Confederate guerrila leader.
It was Quantrill's first stop on his way to Lawrence, revisiting the site after possibly scouting the community several weeks before.
"They fed him a meal. There's some evidence that he spent the night. In other words they befriended him, and he chose not to kill them," Dailey said.
Quantrill's visit is well documented, even recounted in a letter written by William Miller years later that Dailey reads to visiting elementary school students, which he said gave him chills each time.
"So sometimes you're sitting here thinking, 'The man spent the night! That's a little weird,' Dailey said.

The Miller family lived at this residence for nearly 100 years before the house was sold to the Eller family and finally the Dailey's. Dailey said he hoped he could continue the legacy for another generation of Lawrence residents.
The barn outside the Miller House stands out in the modern suburban setting of today. The Miller House was built in 1858 and was a part of the Junderground Railroad during the Civil War.
"My kids will be living here. The foundation of this house is remarkably solid," Dalley said. "The work that we've just put into it to restore it, if people wanted to live here another 100 years they certainly could without any difficulty, no difficulty at all."
Dailey and his wife replaced the entire west wall and restored the fireplace to its original visage as part of the many investments the couple has made to maintain their home's integrity.
