Contributing Writer 88-year old Elna Greenfield of rural Birmingham in Van Buren County had heard that the country-school teacher she had at Mt. Zion was still alive and living in Keosauqua. Elna remembered the teacher’s name, it was Veneta Pierce, and she was 10 years older than Elna. So she would be 98. “Lord have mercy!” Elna said to herself. Elna searched and searched in the Keosauqua phone book, which was hard on her eyes because she has both glaucoma and macular degeneration. Then she remembered–the pretty young school teacher had gotten married. The man would drive by when they were out playing softball at noon and the kids would wave at him and make jokes and kissing sounds. “Oh, what was his name?” Elna wondered. “Leroy? Yes, that was it. Leroy Teal.” And there the name was in the phone book, Veneta Teal. With trembling fingers (she has polymyalgia), Elna dialed the number. ....
The little brown sign on Highway 34 is easy to miss, just like the significance of two little sisters in Danville, in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s, who ....
Contributing Writer It is with great pleasure I announce a book signing and “Meet the Author” for L. Kephart-Nash, better known as Linda Nash, of Ft. Madison. This gala affair will take place on Saturday, April 24th, at 1:00 p.m., at the First Christian Church in Ft. Madison, 608 10th St. Masks and social distancing will be observed. If it’s a nice day (hope, hope), we’ll meet across the street in Central Park where it will be easier to social distance and enjoy nature. Yours truly (me) will be introducing L. Kephart-Nash to the community and world, although for those of you who know her, she needs no introduction. ....
Contributing Writer I’m in a mad dash across Kansas on I-70. My brother in Canon City, Colorado, who is 14 years older than me, has terminal cancer. Hospice has been called in. I must see him before he dies. To do what? To pay respects? To tell him I love him? To try and make up for the years separating us, the distance, the difference in age? I dunno. All I know is I must get there. My seat-belt warning alarm keeps going off. I have a cooler full of food and drink that Ginnie fixed for me in the passenger seat. The car “thinks” there is a person sitting there. The alarm is terribly annoying, but I don’t want to stop to fasten the seat belt. I call my daughter on the hands-free phone to tell her about her uncle dying. She asks, “What’s that beeping, Dad?” ....
Contributing Writer Entering Iowa from the south on Highway 81 out of Missouri, the first road sign you see is not “Welcome to Iowa,” but “Welcome to Van Buren County.” How fitting. Of the many treasures, secrets and beauties of Van Buren County, west on County Road J-40 out of Keosauqua, is the farm and artisan retreat of Tim and Kim Blair, also known as The Bloom and Bark Farm–bloom for the blooms of their flowers and trees and bark for the bark on the trees or the friendly bark of their three welcoming rescue dogs. The locals know, but visitors to Van Buren County, like Ginnie and me, have no idea that the mild mannered, pony-tailed glass blower, Tim Blair, was once a well-known medical doctor. Ask any of the neighbors or the many Amish and they will tell you, “Oh, yes. He delivered a lot of babies.” ....
