I used to be proud of living in Iowa and having been a public official. Not so much today. Many of us call Iowa the Florida of the North. I hope I did not step on any toes

In 1963 I started in journalism at Ohio University, was a type lab assistant, but drifted into history because of a great ex oss officer who taught SE Asia and another course in China and Japan.

A journalism student at that time became a famous journalist in Chicago.

Me, I went to Boston with a rock band.

We are of a similar generation. I am from Chicago, travelled to Iowa for law school, planned on a rapid return after graduation. However, life intervened annd over 50 years later, I remain an Iowan, transplanted Chicagoan, but an Iowan.

I always root for Iowa unless they are playing the Buckeyes.

Be well.
