JONES AND DUBUQUE COUNTIES. HE HAS BEEN A SUPPORTER OF "TERM LIMITS", SAYING 12 YEARS IS ENOUGH. HE SAID FAMILY MATTERS
ENTERED INTO HIS DECISION. THREE OF HIS CHILDREN HAVE GONE
THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL DURING HIS TIME IN DES MOINES AND HE
HAD TO MISS MANY OF THEIR ACTIVITIES. HIS YOUNGEST IS CURRENTLY A FRESHMAN AT MARQUETTE IN BELLEVUE. HE SAID HE ENJOYED
REPRESENTING CITIZENS OF THE 58TH DISTRICT AND WOULD NOT RULE

GLEN "RED" HENTON, AGE 95, IS RETIRING FROM ENTERTAINMENT BOOKINGS IN THE AREA. HE WILL NOT BE ON STAGE "MAKING MUSIC MEMORIES" AT THIS YEAR'S KMAQ FARM AND HOME SHOW. WE HAVE
HAD ANNUAL SHOWS OUT AT THE FAIRGROUNDS SINCE THE 1980'S AND
HE'S BEEN THERE EVERY YEAR, WITH POPULAR COUNTRY AND POP HITS
FROM THE PAST 5 DECADES. WE WILL MISS HIS SINGING, BUT I'M,
SURE HE WILL BE ATTENDING THE SHOW EACH DAY AS A SPECTATOR
AND VISITING WITH HIS MANY FRIENDS. HE COULD STILL DO IT IF
HE WANTED TO....JUST WANTS TO RETIRE. RED HAS DONE LOTS OF
SINGING ON KMAQ SINCE KMAQ WENT ON-THE-AIR IN 1958.
RED WILL BE 96 THIS SEPTEMBER. FULTON, IOWA'S MOST FAMOUS
CITIZEN.
WATCH OUT FOR SLIPPERY SPOTS ON ROADS, HIGHWAYS, BRIDGES
AND DRIVEWAYS.
