IT IS A BEAUTIFUL SATURDAY IN MAQUOKETA.
AND THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL BE EVEN BETTER. WE WILL BE NEARING 70 DEGREES ON TUESDAY.

BECAUSE OF COMPUTER PROBLEMS, I WAS UNABLE TO BRING YOU REPORTS
LIKE ALWAYS THIS PAST WEEK. THE KMAQ-FM TRANSMITTER ALSO
DEVELOPED PROBLEMS AND WE ARE OFF THE AIR A COUPLE TIMES DURING
THE HECTIC WEEK.

HOPEFULLY, WE'LL GET BACK TO NORMAL THIS COMING WEEK.

HAVE A GOOD ONE!

BRAD DEERY MOTORS HOSTED A FAREWELL RECEPTION THIS WEEK AT THE
SHOWROOM FOR JERRY AND DORTHY RASMUSSEN WHO ARE MOVING TO
THE STATE OF WASHINGTON LATER THIS MONTH, TO LIVE NEAR THEIR SON.
IT WAS A BUSINESS AFTER HOURS EVENT SPONSORED BY THE MAQUOKETA AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. A LITE LUNCH WAS SERVED TO CHAMBER MEMBERS AND GUESTS. IN PHOTO ABOVE, A PLAQUE OF APPRECIATION WAS PRESENTED FROM BRAD TO JERRY. NEXT TO DOROTHY, AT THE FAR RIGHT IS JOHN DEERY, UNCLE OF BRAD, WHO IN 1985 HELPED BRAD GET INTO THE AUTO BUSINESS WITH THE PURCHASE OF RASMUSSEN MOTOR SALES. BRAD LIVES IN BURLINGTON WHERE HE ALSO HAS A DEALERSHIP, AND JOHN LIVES IN CEDAR FALLS, WHERE
THERE ARE DEERY DEALERSHIPS TOO, RUN BY HIS FAMILY.
JERRY AND DOROTHY WILL BE MISSED IN MAQUOKETA AND I WISH THEM WELL
THEY WILL BE LIVING IN A BRAND NEW ASSISTED LIVING CENTER, OVERLOOKING THE MOUNTAINS ON ONE SIDE AND A RIVER ON THE OTHER.
