Ramblin with Rascal recalls a year on the road
The columnist reflects on the past year of rambling across Iowa and beyond recalling people and places. Norman Schanz builds a tall walnut rocker in South Amana, David and Martha Gott debut a green and yellow trolley car, and Belgian Draft horses Dick and Dan return for summer tours. In Osterdock, Clayton County gains its first paved road, Don Boardman expands his store, and Manches ter updates the pink castle. Aurora hosts a 1200 plus smelt fry as Fourth of July looms, while the East End Birthday Club of Norway keeps monthly parties alive. Kirk Perucca, a Shellsburg minister, aims to visit four states unvisited, and Richard Kammerman moves to Wyoming for work. Myrtle Falk of Elgin sells old newspapers ahead of a planned burn, and Paris Iowa’s spring proves greener and cleaner than last year.
