That part of it, looking back, it is sad, just the way things have evolved, but we Americans do not forget, and though we still have a trickle of what once was, I wish things would have gone the other way, and or some of this would turn around and garner some of the might we did have, it sure would be a moral booster ! We have in another area, Global Foundries and all the semi-conductor related manufacturing in the area that is an up an coming industry locally.
In those 4 years I worked at this place, we had real old accounts, all the local industry, and thinking back, there was quite a bit still going on. I'm not one for living in the past so much, but we did have something to appreciate with all of our industrial might. I think an example of a great turn around is the craft brewing industry, who would have thought back in the late 70's given what was so prevalent, mass produced rice laden beer, what we have today to enjoy after a hard days work, on a sunday or at any other similar event or daily affair, is of renaissance proportions, its thriving, the products are excellent, the variety is incredible, the support is there, it works, and there are jobs all the way to the hops fields, like one local brewer here, who would buys locally grown hops. Head brewer told me if you were able to grow hops, he would likely buy all of it, ( not such an easy crop but...) I like to think about these kinds of things, its at least a decent business model that works. Most who support these products do so in moderation and responsibly, only negative side it is alcohol, so there is that element of those who do not, not a good choice.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
