Richard,
Sadly, my random questioning reveals that few folks in Iowa seem to have even
a vague notion of Bud Day. It took Ross Perot to commission a bronze statue
of Bud Day, that was placed at the Sioux City Airport.
Will Pulitzer Nominee, Robert Coram, be doing a book signing on the Bud Day
Bio, in October? Do I see a 2000 mile trip in my future?
