Postcards Received from Iowa

1962.  Mason City, Iowa
Greetings from Mason City, Iowa, in the middle of the corn belt.  Mason City is the birthplace of Meredith Wilson, the composter of "The Music Man" and "The Unsinkable Molly Brown."  Needless to say the community is nuts about music.  I refer to Diet Coke as "My Preciousssss!"  Best wishes from the Prairie, Gary

1048.  Iowa
Iowa, the 29th state admitted to the Union, is one of the greatest farming states in the United States.  Farms cover over 90% of Iowa's land area, and Iowa is routinely one of the United States' leading producers of soybeans, hogs, and corn.
Hi Christine,  We're practically neighbors.  I camp on Lake Pymatuning on the OH/PA border.  It's about a 2-hour drive from Cleveland.  It's a beautiful area.  Joy.  11-21-17
