BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY IN MAQUOKETA...SUNNY AND LOW 60'S.
LAST NIGHT'S LOW WAS 28.

GOT AN EMAIL A FEW DAYS AGO FROM JIM FRANDSEN, A MAQUOKETA HIGH SCHOOL 1952 GRAD.
JIM, GRADUATED FROM IOWA IN 1962 AND NOW HAS TWO HOMES....IN OXNARD, CALIFORNIA AND IN MESQUITE, NEVADA. HE RECENTLY HAD TWO INTERESTING EVENTS HAPPEN TO HIM.
ONE: HE PLAYED GOLF WITH HAYDEN FRY AND HIS WIFE. ALSO IN FOURSOME WAS TOM BERTHEL AND HIS WIFE DEANNA. HAYDEN IS THE FORMER, GREAT IOWA FOOTBALL COACH, AND TOM WAS, I BELIEVE, AN ELWOOD HIGH SCHOOL GRAD AND HIS WIFE I THINK GRADUATED FROM MAQUOKETA IN THE EARLY 70'S. HAYDEN LIVES OUT THERE, IN A GATED COMMUNITY. AND TWO: JIM MET JACK LELANNE, NOW 91, IN A CALIFORNIA RESTUAURANT. HE IS THE FORMER TV STAR THAT PUSHED PHYSICAL CONDITIONING. ANYONE WANTING JIM'S EMAIL ADDRESS CAN EMAIL ME.

MAQUOKETA HOSTS DEWITT IN FOOTBALL TONIGHT. THE CARDINALS HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF WINNING THIS FINAL GAME OF SEASON.

WANT TO MOVE TO MAQUOKETA? THERE'S A RURAL HOME, NOT FAR FROM TOWN, THAT WENT ON THE MARKET RECENTLY AT AROUND $1.5 MILLION. HAS FARM LAND WITH IT.

TRICK OR TREAT HOURS WILL BE 4 TO 6 P.M. SUNDAY.

TODAY'S "JUST TALK" CALL-IN SHOW ON KMAQ WAS RECORDED AGAIN AND CAN BE HEARD ON THE KMAQ HOME PAGE, WITH HOSE LEIGHTON HEPKER. THERE WERE 21 CALLERS.

THIS WEEKEND, THE PHOTOS WILL BE UP THAT WERE TAKEN AT THE HURST HOTEL ON WEDNESDAY.

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND.
