    What year did you graduate from ISU and with what degree

    Dec. 1990, B.S. Aerospace Engineering Didn't go into the aerospace business, however (tough time to get a job then unless you had a M.S., as I focused on aerodynamics). Whole career in the environmental field. Currently managing 10 engineers (8 mechanical, 2 chemical) at an air quality...

    First car/truck/van that you ever bought.

    First car - 1965 Mustang coupe. 289, red, black pony interior. My dad bought it when I was 14 so it would be paid off when I turned 16. He bought it from a guy in Urbandale that restored Mustangs on the side (he was a Ford mechanic) - I think mine was his 103rd. Recently sold it, to make room...

Vernon, Ia), so that paved the way out of Iowa for me (thank god!). Moved to Boulder, CO for high school, but by that time...

    NHL All-Star Game

    While I missed it (I was playing roller hockey tonight, and backstopped my team to a 5-3 win!), this is typical for all star games. I agree with joskvig on the reasons, and all star games always look like roller hockey games due to the lack of physical play (no one wants to get hurt, and the...

    Need help with local newspapers

    I need to post something in newspapers in both Grinnell and Urbandale, Iowa. Does anyone know if they still have local papers, and if not, what is the predominant paper in those 2 cities. My family is from Grinnell, but I was raised in Urbandale. I think Grinnell had a paper, and Urbandale had...

    What does it take?

    I put football teams into 4 categories: Top Tier (ranked 1-5 nationally), First Tier (ranked 6 - 20), Second Tier (ranked 20-35 or 40), and I Don't Care Anymore About the Tier (ranked below 40). DMac has brought us from the bottom (deeply rooted in I Don't Care Anymore About the Tier) to...
