Living In Iowa
Way back in the mid-1960’s, 1966 in fact, the state of Iowa entered into my consciousness. As a five year old at the time, it wasn’t much of a consciousness. All I really knew was Dad took a temporary job transfer and we’d be leaving Chicago to live in Iowa for a year.
Over the next 15 months, we made several long car trips to and from western Iowa to Chicago. I remember always wanting to see the Mississippi River from the big window of our station wagon.
