Trip to Iowa

Location
Kansas

My wife had not seen her brother for 23 years. No problems between them at all but he left their home in Ft. Madison, Iowa to serve 4 tours in Vietnam in Naval intelligence and when he came home, he lived there awhile and then married, moved around, and several plans to see each other had been canceled due to his health because of a nasty thing called agent orange. Well, he has improved, is now divorced and free as a bird and we met in Ft. Madison, Iowa for a very ecstatic reunion. I had never met him and we clicked immediately since we did a lot of the same things in our service, me in the Army Security agency and he in their intel unit. While waiting for him to arrive from Springfield, Illinois, we took in the mighty Mississippi River and the old train station at Ft. Madison. We also stopped near LeClede, Missouri for photographing a covered Bridge. Highly emotional to see them get back together and soon the 23 years were never there and they were back as kids going down street after street to see where they, their friends, and family had lived. My favorite subject is in these pictures often, my wife!

Some from the covered bridge. The creek has wandered from the original site.

Finally, one of my favorite small towns on the Mississippi is Burlington, Iowa.
