Wondering what this workshop will be like, entail-- yes, I meant any tails out there as perhaps my Tiger Cat of 16 lbs may emerge at Okoboji. Stories are fun, whimsical, and, challenging to the mind. I enjoyed reading this and shall explain it to my Cat. Just for fun!!

Living by Indianola, Iowa I had many visitors come and want to go to Winterset after they read the Bridges of Madison County. I am sure for years I took 5 to 6 groups every year. We took our daughter-in-laws family there before the wedding rehearsal. She had written a book with John Wayne in the book and the chili he ate in one of his movies. Thank you for sharing.

Great story, Julie. I wish someone had written about Robert Waller. You've dropped so many tantalizing details here.

A college classmate, also a former Gannettoid, wrote an unauthorized biography of Buck Owens. I shared your essay with her.

I so look forward to your columns! Your Robert Waller stories are fun......and I particularly like this: "Artists have a word for that experience: Flow. It's like driving on a city street when all the lights you come to are green." Your way of making points like this are so good!
