Tradition Upheld as Legislative Queens Named in Iowa
In Des Moines two legislative pages selected as chamber queens Jan Ver Hoef of Norwalk, secretary to Sen. Laverty, and Connie Eichhorn of Des Moines, clerk to Rep. Willits. Both are married. Jan's husband is engineer John, Connie's husband is accountant David. Senator Nicholson narrowly escaped a one car crash on I 80 near Iowa City during travel from Davenport to Des Moines. A later correction notes a misidentification error listing Rep Willits as Willits Democrat and Alt as Democrat from West Des Moines.
