Summer found Dave and myself attending the All Iowa Fair, the Jones County Fair, a picnic at Thomas Park, a Day on the Mississippi River and visiting with a variety of guests and a lot faithful Open Line listeners. On some occasions we traveled in separate directions. I enjoyed the First Annual Eggstravaganza in Des Moines that was sponsored by the Iowa Egg Council

In the middle of all the activities I missed several of the shows due to the death of my dear Grandmother. She was a faithful Open Line listener, and will be missed.

As fall approaches we are readying our files for the canning season and wishing you the best.
