AS AG-AIR, BASED IN WASHINGTON, IOWA.      THE CHEMICAL AND
FERTILIZER APPLICATIONS BUSINESS WILL LEASE BOTH THE NORTH AND SOUTH HANGERS AT THE AIRPORT AND WILL HAVE A YEAR AROUND

WE GO BACK TO 1983 FOR THIS MAQUOKETA PHOTO...
THAT HANGING CHRISTMAS TREE, CORNER OF MAIN AND PLATT, WAS A
POPULAR DECORATION FOR AROUND 20 YEARS, UNTIL IT STARTED COMING
APART.    NOTE, OTHER SMALLER TREES HANGING FROM LIGHT  POLES.
JACK BICKFORD AND I WENT BUSINESS TO BUSINESS TO RAISE MONEY
TO BUY ALL THE TREES.

AND HERE'S ANOTHER WAY-BACK-WHEN PHOTO IN DOWNTOWN
MAQUOKETA.   THE GROCERY STORE WAS WHERE HAMILTON'S WAS IN THE ABOVE PICTURE AND WHERE MAKE A SPLASH IS NOW.
I WILL GIVE YOU A VOY THEATRE GIFT CARD IF  YOU CAN IDENTIFY THE
FIVE MEN ABOVE.     DO YOU KNOW ANY OF THEM?

SORRY TO REPORT THAT NEWS DIRECTOR SHERI MELVOLD IS RETIRING
AT THE END OF THE YEAR.   SHE  HAS BEEN WITH US 17 YEARS.
WE WILL BE ADVERTISING FOR A REPLACEMENT IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
IT IS ALWAYS SAD TO HAVE SOMEONE LEAVE AND I'VE SEEN MANY DO
SO IN THE LAST 56 YEARS.    SHERI WILL BE MISSED BY US AND KMAQ
LISTENERS.

DON'T LEAVE YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE YOU CHECK THE CHRISTMAS FEATURE BELOW ABOUT WYOMING, THE CHRISTMAS CITY.    IF YOU KNOW ANYONE IN WYOMING, GIVE THEM A CALL AND TELL THEM TO
BRING UP THIS DAILY REPORT AND TAKE A LOOK.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD WEDNESDAY.
