Their boyhood hunting forays frequently took them across the trail’s still visible ruts and by where the Santa Fe Trail crossed the Dragoon Creek. Marvin was born the same house where his father was born within easy view of the former home of their great grandfather C.G. Crumb a short distance from Havana. Although they both were active in grain farming as youngsters, they each took different vocational directions after reaching adulthood.
Marvin Crumb became an innovative electronics industrialist on the international stage. His broad experience and interest led him into doing much of the research for this book but also into other diverse things including experimentation, over the past decade, with quantum physics and the related field of radionics. He says that “both of these interests are very exciting, frustrating, illuminating and extremely humiliating but do keep him from playing in the street!”
Glenn was born on a farmstead over which pass the ruts of both the Santa Fe Trail and the lesser known Leavenworth (military) Trail. He attended the same one-room country school which his father attended and his grandfather helped build. Glenn became an academician with interests in innovative applications of technology in education. Dr. Crumb attended institutions of higher education located in the plains states although he also attended Harvard University and Stanford University for summer terms on fellowships from Du Pont and Shell Oil. Both his undergraduate and master’s degrees are from Emporia State University in physical sciences education while his doctorate, in Physics and Education, is from The University of Nebraska, Lincoln. These writers are the great, great grandsons of C. C. Crumb who came to Council City, Kansas Territory, in 1857 as a miller. Crumbs Along the Trail is the first offering of this pair.view less
