Milepost 2,303 (Cedar Rapids, IA)

We arrived early this afternoon in Cedar Rapids, where we lived from 1981 to 1989.  Our first stop was at our first home here.  We were curious to find out whether it was still there, since we were aware it was under water during the floods that devastated Cedar Rapids in 2008.  When we arrived, we found our home still occupied and the neighborhood generally looking pretty good, considering what it had gone through.

From there, we went to my old station, KCCK, where I was Station Manager.  Some of the folks I worked with are still there, and it was good to see them again.  They include George Dorman (far left in the photo) and Gordon Paulsen (next to George).  On the far right is Dennis Green, the current GM.

This evening, we drove to the Amana Colonies for dinner at The Colony Inn.  The food was great!

Tomorrow morning, we head off to St. Louis.
