Letter to the Editor: Living in the city is not living in northeast Iowa

To the Editor:

I spent a short time living in the Elon area. This Memorial Day weekend my family and I spent time in the Waterville and Waukon area. We saw some great farming operations.

As a young boy, I worked in the Waterville area. I noticed Arlyn “Butch” Fossum’s farming operation really impressed me. I was told he is a great supporter of the Waukon community.

What a beautiful area to live in and raise a family, living in the city is not living in northeast Iowa. So, people in northeast Iowa are very, very lucky and fortunate.

P.S. You have so many people in the area that should be recognized. It’s a beautiful drive from Waukon east on A52/Elon Road.
