Springtime musings and oddities from Cedar Rapids
A lively column blends spring observations with personal notes. It mentions gardens, robins, and seasonal follies, plus a tale of a Cedar Rapids supermarket boss and a former employee who earned thirty silver dollars as a bonus. The piece also cites Fidel Castro's forthcoming autobiography and a Muscatine reader’s anti-Semitic mail, ending with a brain teaser about travel and time. It closes with Center Point High teachers receiving National Defense Education Act scholarships.
