Boone....Boone.....Boone
Pufferbilly......Farm Progress......Super Nationals......New schools
Kostelnick......Rinehart.......Bassett.......Nigro-Weaver........the Kruse boys
If you're not a Boone area lover, you probably get tired of the Kornerman's hard lean to the achievements of this area, this community and its residents.
Got news for you......it isn't going to stop.
How time flies. I remember when she was a little girl, then, BHS-15, and now a graduate of the Drake Law School. Catherine Anderson Skotzke, the daughter of proud parents, Bruce, BHS-79, and Mary Moffitt Anderson, BHS-79, has passed the Iowa bar exam and will be admitted to the bar in a ceremony on September 16.
BUT, that's only half of a great story. Catherine will soon become an associate at the Des Moines office of Nyemaster Goode, PC, AND she'll be practicing law along with fellow Toreadors, Jeff Courter, BHS-80; Jeff Harty, BHS-87 and Richard Sapp, BHS-68. You think their might be some great Boone memories shared in that office?
Dad Bruce, President and General Counsel for the Iowa Automobile Dealers Association recalled, "I think it's pretty special that Lloyd Courter, BHS-53, and I practiced law together in Boone and now, his oldest son and my youngest daughter will practice together also."

The Kornerman noted that Mark Edwards of Boone, a retiree after 30 years from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources in coordination and policy, has presented a guest column to the Des Moines Register.
According to Mark's story, Iowa's present ecology cannot be sustained and needs healing. Simply said, he reports that our present tactics, "politics and blaming/shaming are not working" and he goes into detail the reason for those thoughts. Nice to see that the Register gives some space to a Boone resident.

Speaking of the Register. As I have indicated in the Korner previously, as usual, I have made my annual plea to the Des Moines newspaper for some kind.....any kind......of coverage of the Boone Super Nationals. I mean its been here since 1988 and maybe there has been some coverage that I missed......but still......this is a huge central Iowa event that, to my mind, deserves more than casual coverage.
This year, I've again contacted the Register Sports Department and even Carol Hunter, the Executive Editor, pointing out this has to be one of Iowa's biggest events each year.......over 1,000 cars entered......all the fans, friends and families of the drivers who come to Boone from over 40 states and Canada, many of the thousands, to spend the entire week in our state.
This year, I even added columnist Courtney Crowder of those at the Register that I contacted about why this event should be covered. She, at least, answered me......stating that her schedule is done well in advance but she would most certainly pass this concern on.........to guess who? Yes, the sports department which is always wrapped up tightly in a smaller Knoxville racing event.
Haven't seen anything yet but here's hoping.......
