Fort Dodge

x

This is where my parents grew up.

They lived there several years. Have since lost all contact with.

Was born at Trinity Hospital in Fort Dodge, 20 miles north of the farm I grew up on.

Long trip to help some people move.

My first trip here was the best. I think Kristin and I were just dating (?), and we attended her Grandpa's famous fish fry.

i work, live, and eat in this nice small city

This is where both sets of grandparents lived, and some of my cousins. I still have an aunt here. I always thought Aunt Lucy and Uncle Fletch had the coolest houses. Memories of cousin Bill taking us for rides on his motorcycle, and Lyd introducing me to the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean. And they had a foreign exchange student one year from Sweden named Magoo. :)

I was a wee bairn, born to the heirress of an Irish Castle (lost to the english, argh)

Yes, I was uprooted my last year of high school. I lived here only a year and struggle to remember much about it.
