Cedar Rapids exiles in Washington plan return visits
A Washington survey shows Cedar Rapids residents and former Coe College alumni, including the Parsons, Brady, Esgate, Cook, Murray and Heiney families, visiting Cedar Rapids or planning trips home this summer and fall. Notables like Arthur E. Esgate and Ella Poe Cotton will travel, while others remain busy in federal posts or academia.
