Dodge's long and storied history doesn't have to be relegated to the 19th Century shenanigans we're all so familiar with. There is some more recent history that is having an immediate affect on peoples lives. This comes from the Wichita Eagle's series "To the Stars: The Story of Kansas," talking about Dodge native Ellis "Skip" Cave.

From the article:
"Cave, who grew up in Dodge City, is a scientist, inventor and holder of more than 30 patents -- from the technology leading to bar code scanners to the computers that answer your questions when you call a business.
His friends say that as a child, Cave was a geeky sci-fi enthusiast who almost always had his nose ina book.
People in Dodge City knew Cave 'was a really smart kid and was going to be successful in something with science,' said Mark Warshaw, whose backyard was connected to Cave's when they were growing up in the late 1950s and early 1960s."
