LETTERS FROM RON AND LARRY

   The Kornerman recently chronicled the Ames connection with Cincinnati Bengals Super Bowl quarterback Joe Burrow.

   Reading that material in the Korner was Ron Hopkins, BSH-59, who lives in Edmonds, Washington. Ron's an ISU graduate and noticed a lengthy article in the Seattle Times about former ISU football coach Jim Walden and his connections with the Burrow family.

   Ron thought the Kornerman might find the story interesting so he kindly sent me a copy of the full page article. Thank you Ron.

   Editor's note: This can get a bit confusing so let me first explain that.....James Burrow is the father of Jimmy Burrow who is the father of Joe Burrow.

  The story contains lots of ins and outs but starts when Walden is hired as a high school football coach in Mississippi by Jim Burrow's father, James, who was a high school principal. Jimmy Burrow was one of Walden's quarterbacks on that high school team.

   Walden's biggest coaching break came when he was hired as a football staff member at the University of Nebraska in 1969. With Walden's influence, Nebraska awarded a football scholarship to Jimmy Burrow, who became a standout safety for the Cornhuskers.

   Next up, Walden became a football staff member at Washington State University. Jimmy Burrow followed Walden to WSU, serving as a graduate assistant and earning a Master's Degree in Education Administration. Walden eventually became the head coach  at WSU from 1978-86.

   Jimmy Burrow followed Walden to Iowa State in 1987 and stayed in Ames, even working six years as a high school coach, after Walden resigned in 1994. AND, during his time in Ames, in 1996, Jimmy and his second wife, Robin, whom he had met in Ames, became the parents of Joe Burrow, the Super Bowl quarterback.

   The story was very enjoyable and actually leaned more to Walden's long coaching history. Ron Hopkins wrote, "Jim Walden was a much liked and respected coach at Washington State where he spent most of his career. He was a very good person and I was sorry to see him leave ISU.  I continue to enjoy your blog and sincerely appreciate your efforts."

   Here's another of Larry Lindmark's memories of his days in the Boone area. Larry, BHS-63, wrote, "The Boxholm Swedes are mentioned, occasionally, in the Korner. After graduating from the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago in 1971, my first call was to Faith Lutheran Church in Harcourt, south of Fort Dodge. Two of my church members were Chuck Will and Donnie Peterson who both played for the Boxholm Swedes. I was even invited to play with the Swedes. What a great way to interact with members of my congregation, by playing softball with them. In the early 1970's, home games were still played on the diamond near the Boxholm school. Tom Trueblood, who worked for the local grain elevator, served as the manager. Gary Paulson of Ogden was one of our pitchers. Many of our league games were played at Harlan Rogers Park in Fort Dodge which was a fairly new complex at the time. One summer, the Swedes even played the Des Moines Hot n' Tots at the McHose Park diamond.The one armed pitcher, Ray Schoenrock, who was mentioned in a previous Korner, was throwing for Ames during my couple of seasons with the Swedes. He would bat for himself, swinging the bat with one arm and while pitching, he would put the ball in his arm pit preparing for the next pitch. I still have my #5 sleeveless Swedes jersey on the wall in my basement room along with my green cap. The Swedes of the early 70's were not as strong as the earlier powerhouse teams led by pitchers Gene and Dean Olson and Darryl Zunkel but it was still a great time to play fast pitch softball."

CATCHING UP

   Larry Lindmark, BHS-63, contributed some memories of the Chick-A-Dine restaurant to the Korner recently, and also had some other items to share.

   Referring to his own "Gramps," who he talked about in that earlier release, he wrote, "another "Gramps" in the Boone community, who was recognized by shoppers at Lawson's Grocery store, was Gladys Lawson's father. Lawson's Grocery began across the street from People's Clothing. When I worked for Lawson's in 1962, they were located east of the National Guard Armory and the YMCA. "Gramps" was a jack of all trades.....stocking shelves, sacking groceries and wheeling groceries to awaiting cars. At the time, he may have been in his 80's, but he was working circles around the high school help. Also, when the Boone Toreador bank marched in the Tournament of Roses Parade on January 1, 1963, Chet and Gladys Lawson had one of the few color televisions in Boone. They invited many friends to view the parade in "living color." Each year, as I watch the annual Rose parade, I am reminded of the Lawson's opening their home to so many people, enabling them to watch with pride and joy the band from Boone."

   Vern Schmickley, PhD, BHS-64, had tipped the Kornerman about Kae Nelson Schmickley's recent death. Tips like that from viewers, that's another reason we almost always have death notices in the Korner way before any other area media. In fact, its not unusual for the Korner to be the only media outlet for the reporting of some area deaths.

   Verne wrote, "just a note of thanks for your reportage of all things Boone. So many of us depend on your Korner to keep up with Boone's history and our old friends. Kae's son, Mike, told me that his dad, Jim, a former BHS classmate of the Kornerman, used to love reading the column."

   Referring to a recent mention of Boone being a retirement mecca, Verne wrote, "Mike Loehrer, BHS-64, told me he had sent you info about that and the promoter of that story. HomeSnacks.com, is based a few miles from me near Raleigh-Durham Airport. And, of course, I must caution about the veracity of anyone writing from Raleigh. Thanks again.....several times a week."

A BIG VOTE IS COMING

   It seems like its been a long haul to get to this point but......finally......decision time is coming soon. On Tuesday, March 1, Boone voters will determine whether they approve or disapprove of a $10 million outlay for a wellness recreation center in downtown Boone. A 60% majority is required for success.

   I, the Kornerman, will certainly not tell you to vote yes......nor will I encourage you to vote no. Its strictly your call.

   But, one thing I will strongly advocate is that you do get out and vote. In our last similar election, a majority supported the idea of building a new elementary building and construction will start whenever the weather begins improved cooperation.

   The sad news is that only some 1,500 voters took part in that election. That's about 14.5 percent of the eligible voters and that is simply pitiful. There's no other way to describe it.

   Almost every other country in this wide world would love this opportunity.......to express their personal opinion on important issues.

   Hopefully, those of you able to vote will do so. Using the absentee procedure, Jo and I already have.

   For another year, the Super Bowl is over. I don't have a good history of Super Bowl watching and I don't know why. However, this year, I was among the trillions who watched every single play in the Rams victory over the Bengals. I enjoyed it. Great game to watch.

   Perhaps one reason for my sudden interest was the Bengals 25-year old quarterback, Joe Burrow.

   I recalled that Burrow and our suburb to the east, Ames, had a connection. Perhaps that was what drew my attention.

   Anyway, I've done some research on that and I'm completely ashamed that I didn't realize the complete substance of the Ames-Joe Burrow connection.

   Jim and Robin Burrow had a son, Joseph Lee Burrow, who was born in Ames, December 10, 1996. Joe is now 25 years old.

   The Burrow clan actually lived in Ames for 13 years.....from 1987 to 2000.....and, in fact, dad Jim was an assistant coach at Ames High School, 1995-98, and was the head Little Cyclone coach, 1999-2000. Prior to that he was  a member of the Iowa State University football staff.

   A former professional football player in both the U.S. and Canada, Jim Burrow began his coaching career at Washington State where he was tight ends coach in 1981 and defensive backfield coach, 1982-86.

   He came to Ames to coach at Iowa State University in 1987 and was the big Cyclones defensive backs coach from 1987-93. In 1994, he became the ISU co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach.

   It was in 1995 that he took a big and unusual step back.......to coach at Ames High School.

   Later, he returned to college coaching at Nebraska, North Dakota State and Ohio before retiring in 2018 so he could make sure he was able to watch all of his son's future collegiate games.

   Joe started his college career at Ohio State, 2015-17, but then moved on to LSU, 2018-20. In 2020, he led the Tigers to the national collegiate championship, was the Heisman trophy winner and was the top pick in the following NFL draft.

MORE MEMORIES TO SHARE

     Larry Lindmark, BHS-63, has some memories to share. 

     He wrote, "the Topper Motel has been a recent topic. My grandma, Ethel Lindmark, and her husband, Bert, lived at 206 Linn Street. Ethel was a sister to Snub Pollard, an owner of the Topper Motel and Chick-A-Dine. Her father, known as "Gramps," would ride his little pony from the motel on Highway 30 to their home. I remember having a picture of Gramps sitting astride his pony in grandma Ethel's back yard. Long before the ice dispensers found in today's motels, the Topper Motel had an aluminum ice chest filled with flat ice cubes, a treat for any of our visiting family members. One Easter Sunday, in the 50's, the family of Ethel and Bert (they had four daughters and four sons) gathered at the Chick-A-Dine. So, as the Lindmark's, Eldien's, Lantz' and Orrs left after their meal, Ken Lindmark, BHS-49, filmed the procession of family members as they exited the restaurant. There was one grandson about eight or nine years old, who kept getting in line again so that uncle Ken would film this youngster several times. Finally, Bob Lindmark, BHS-40, the father of  this "wayward" child is pictured pulling his son aside and telling him to cease the repetitive parade. Ken made copies of his filming, so many family members have this keepsake."

     Editor's Note: The "wayward" child was never identified? More of Larry's memories will be coming in future editions.

     Another census was conducted in the U.S. in 2020 and we have finally received some results. The Kornerman finds this interesting but I realize a parade of numbers drive some people crazy. If that's you, you might want to skip over the following:

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT

     Okay, here's the followup to the "teaser" we posted Sunday regarding this outfit, SnackPaks, identifying Boone Iowa as the best place in Iowa to retire too. 

     Actually, that's just one part of a series of similar offerings. SnackPaks also lists the worst places to live in Iowa; the cheapest Iowa places to live and the best places to raise a family in the Hawkeye state. The best places to retire in America is also available and, might we also assume that each and every single state in the USA is given the same scrutiny?

     Obviously that old goal, compensation, comes into play. We note that yes, there is some real estate connection mentioned. So, be skeptical, be doubtful......it doesn't matter........its always fun to have any outsider say good things about the old home town.

     SnackPaks says they are reader-supported and this is their seventh yearly ranking and they looked at the latest FBI and Census reports on crime, demographics, affordable housing, distance to the closest international airport and amenities for 29 Iowa cities with over 10,000 residents to complete their ranking.

     The Top Ten were Boone; Fort Madison; Clinton; Waverly; Oskaloosa; Spencer; Bettendorf; Clive; Pella and Norwalk.

     SnackPaks claimed Boone has a population of 12,487, median rent is $738 and its located 37 miles from the closest international airport. 

     And, wouldn't you know........for more pertinent information, a real estate website is provided.

     We hate to go negative but, according to SnackPaks, the worst places in Iowa to live in are Centerville; Ottumwa; Osceola; Waterloo; Council Bluffs; Fort Madison; Clinton; Des Moines; Marshalltown and Fort Dodge........after analyzing some of those same criteria.

     Enough said.

     Some odds and ends

     (1) Old news. I thumbed through a Readers Digest, November, 2021 edition, and was excited to see a familiar sight. Starting on page 44, there is a segment....Where or When?......a photo quiz. Right before my tired eyes was the famous picture of the Boone and Scenic Valley steam locomotive traveling across the Bass Point Creek High Bridge, a 156-foot high steel structure built in 1913. You may recall the steam locomotive was purchased from China in 1989 for $350,000. The quiz question that was asked was, "from where was this scene photographed." Was it from Norwich, Connecticut; Treasure Valley Idaho; Boone County Iowa or Elkins, West Virginia.

     You, surely know the answer.

    (2) A viewer wrote about Boyd's Dairy......mentioning the north side store and two stores on the south side. Maybe he considered the West Boone store was located on the south side. Anyway, there was north, south and west Boone stores and I added, "there was also one in Ames." Seeing Linda Boyd Bravard, BHS-61, one day recently, I told her the story and she added, "actually there were TWO Ames stores."

   (3) I, the Kornerman, has closely viewed Boone High School athletics for 80 years and have never been bashful in saying, "the 1960's were the most successful, athletically, in BHS history." There was an abundance of great athletes and great teams who made their mark not just locally but statewide as well. Bob Sapp, BHS-71, watched those years unfold and has done a wonderful job of studying, in detail, that "most prolific era in Boone High sports." He spent numerous visits to the Ericson Public Library wading through many years of the Boone News Republican via microfilm. The result is a very detailed look at BHS athletic achievements, 1962-63 to 1971-72. It brings back many wonderful memories.

   (4) In all my personal research of that era, for some reason, I was never able to pinpoint exact scoring information for girls basketball. I followed some good teams and some great individuals and did lots of reporting on their success. But, I've always felt bad I didn't have more specific information. Bob, thankfully, has "filled in" that info. The late Marsha Lilly, BHS-72, leads the way with a three-year career in which she averaged 27.3, 43.2 and 44.8 points per game. The grand total was 2,775 points for her career which is probably a mark that will never be broken. Also of note were Terri Carlson, BHS-65, who averaged 30.4 and 27.8 in her final two years and Carol Grabau, BHS-70, who averaged 25.9 as a senior. Yes, I know.....that was in the six-on-six era........but still....

LET'S NOT WAIT

     This is too good to hold until Wednesday.........although I will go into much more detail on this in the Wednesday edition.

     Some viewers have sent me some information from an outfit called HomeSnacks?, (no snickering is allowed), that has named our fair city, Boone, Iowa, the best place in Iowa to retire to.

     Using material such as home evaluation, unemployment rate, crime statistics etc. etc. they came to that conclusion.

     They have also decided that Centerville, Iowa is the worst place to live in Iowa.

     That's it for now. More details will be coming Wednesday.

BREAKING NEWS ALERT

BREAKING NEWS....BREAKING NEWS

     Boone's James Rueber, a regular Korner viewer, provides some valuable information for those of you planning to attend the Super Bowl,  February 13, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA.

     He wrote, "on Ticketmaster, the NFL's official ticket marketplace, the cheapest Super Bowl tickets were listed at just over $6,000 per seat, but when you include extra fees, the cost is actually more than $7,000. The most expensive pair was going for about $65,000 each in the VIP section, or over $78,000 when factoring in fees. The highest priced single seat I saw was just under $40,000. Can you even imagine?"

     There's no time to waste. You Korner viewers now have the info you need so its time to move ahead by contacting Ticketmaster.

     Regarding our recent Boone County Hospital discussions, BHS-53 classmate Richard Longworth has added some comments.

     Dick wrote, "Vern Modeland's evocative description of the old hospital, at Marshall and First, I believe, was pretty much where it is today. My father was a surgeon there and I recall hanging out, watching him set a broken bone or provide some other routine service. Not operations, of course....even then, hygiene was vital, even if privacy wasn't. I can't imagine doctors today letting their kids watch them at work."

    He added, "Vern's story about Eisenhower's visit also brought back an old memory. Ike and Mamie were in Boone to visit the Carlson's, her cousins, when she got pneumonia and was taken to the Boone County Hospital, under my father's care. This was just after World War II. Penicillin had been invented but pneumonia then still was no joke. In time, she began to recover and my father figured he had earned the right to ask Ike to shake hands with his son. I was smuggled into the hospital, wearing my Cub Scout uniform, and spent about ten minutes with the general, as I recall, talking about Cub scouting in Boone. He had just been on the cover of Life Magazine and he autographed my copy of it, which I still have. Then he went back to Mamie and I went to the ER entrance, where his limo was parked. As Vern recalls, a crowd had gathered, including Vern and other friends. They wanted to know where I had been. "Upstairs", I said, "consulting with the general". Naturally, they didn't believe a word of it. But, just then, the ER door opened and Eisenhower came out. The crowd cheered. He waved, and then spotted me among my friends. He gave me a salute and said, "Hi, Kid." If Ike were alive today, I'd still be voting for him."

     EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is a long winded tribute to my, years ago, doctor, W.H. Longworth.  I've probably penned this story in the Korner,  maybe more than once. I simply don't recall. But, here goes anyway. When I was a seventh grader, I was diagnosed with polio and spinal meningitis which socked me in the hospital for a time and resulted in my spending two years as a seventh grader.....due to missed school time. In those days, those were very serious illnesses with the most serious facing time in an "Iron Lung" to aid in breathing. Thankfully, I missed that, and survived well enough to play sports in high school and college and live a pretty "normal" life until recent years when what is called, "Polio Syndrome" arrived. That's a situation where, many years later, some of the original symptoms come back for a second try. So, in more recent years, my legs are finally affected and there are a few other minor challenges as well but I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. 

    But here's the main thing I wanted to impart. My doctor, during this dire situation in my early teens, was W. H. Longworth, Dick's dad, and I have always felt, it was his medical mastery that saved me a good life that is close to 87 years  in length. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Longworth.

MORE HOSPITAL MEMORIES

     After reading our recent edition about the Boone County Hospital, Ozark Vern.......Vern Modeland, BHS-50 that is..... had some memories of some of those early years of the hospital.

     Vern wrote, "your Korner got me thinking about what the hospital looked like and what it was like to work in when my mother was a nurse there, circa, the late 1930's. The hospital sat on a modest hill in the 1930's with its main entrance a "Sally Port" opening to the west on a curved drive that opened at the intersections of the two streets whose names I can't recall. It was a red brick construction with polished wooden floors inside. There wasn't enough room for a nurses residence to the southeast. Hard to imagine,isn't it? My grandfather's house was just beyond and across whatever street that is/was. Mom (Cecil Modeland) used to recall, vividly, being on duty when that fire you mentioned happened. She was in surgery, administering anesthetic while the surgeon did his work. The anesthetic of the day was ether, a highly explosive substance. But, they stayed the course and finished the surgery. I recall also when Mamie Eisenhower was, briefly, a patient there. Ike, of course, was commander of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). He visited briefly with some of us youngsters of the day in the ER entrance while there to visit her. That resulted in a photo in the Des Moines Sunday Register. The city of Boone has every reason to be proud of its exemplary hospital for lots of memories for us old, old folks."

     Our man Pete.......Pete Kostelnick, BHS-2005, is still rarin' to go. Known nationally and even internationally as a very successful, very looooong distance runner, has been among just 100 runners who have been selected to compete in the annual Badwater 135 in July.

     Let's stop right there.........so we can all get a much better read on exactly what this marathon run is all about.

     Its called the "World's Toughest Foot Race" and here's why.

     Covering 135 miles, non-stop from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney, CA., its the most extreme running race offered anywhere on the planet. It offers its winner the 135 mile World Championship.

     The start line is at Badwater Basin, Death Valley, which marks the lowest elevation in North America at 280' BELOW sea level. The race finishes at Whitney Portal at 8,300', which is the trailhead to the Mt. Whitney summit, the HIGHEST point in the contiguous United States. The Badwater course covers three mountain ranges for a total of 14,600' of cumulative descent. Competitors travel through places or landmarks with names like Mushroom Rock, Furnace Creek, Salt Creek, Devil's Cornfield, Devil's Golf Course, Stovepipe Wells, Panamint Springs, Darwin Keeler, Lone Pine, Alabama Hills, and the Sierra Nevada.

     So, the route extends from low to high, fiery heat to bitter cold. 

     So, why is this brutal challenge being accepted.......again?

     In Pete's own words, "I told myself last year when I failed to make it to the finish, that I would either hang this up or come back ready next time. Ready can mean a lot of things, including being injury free. I think and hope my time off from running recently will help, but it's attending to all the details between now and July 11th that will ultimately tell."

     Winning events like the Badwater, he's won it twice previously, are not new to Pete who has been an ultimate winner. He's still known, primarily, for his record 3,100 mile journey by foot in 2016 from the San Francisco City Hall to the New York City Hall in 42 days, six hours and 30 minutes. The 34 year old AVERAGED over eight minutes per mile during that long journey and that was straight running compared to the many inhumane challenges the Badwater poses.
