GOT AN EMAIL YESTERDAY FROM PETE LEHMAN, LONGTIME MANAGER
OF THE J.C.PENNEY STORE IN MAQUOKETA, ASKING ABOUT THE LAKEHURST DAM.
HE HAD HEARD IT WENT OUT. IT WAS THE LAKE DELHI DAM THAT FAILED.
ANYWAY, PETE IS 89, LIVES DOWN SOUTH AND HE AND BETTY ARE DOING
FINE. I HAVE HIS EMAIL ADDRESS IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE IT.
YES...WE HAD A NICE J.C. PENNEY STORE ONCE. THE BUILDING IS GONE, ONE
OF THE BUILDINGS LOST IN THE BIG FIRE.
