The afternoon of May 25, 2008 many Iowa residents noticed the sky had turned an eerie shade of green. That was the first sign that something bad was potentially imminent.

Gerald Lee Vanderwerf , 82 Sun, 05/09/2021 - 8:36pm Bob Fenske
Gerald Lee Vanderwerf was born on September 15, 1938, to Peter and Grace Vanderwerf in Aplington, and he grew up on farms in the Aplington and Shell Rock areas. Like many in that era, he helped his parents with a variety of farm chores.
He started his schooling at a young age; Gerald was just four when he went to country school because the school needed one more student to remain open, but the vast majority of his education took place in Shell Rock, where he was a member of the Class of 1958.
