I grew up with Sinclair gasoline being available.

Here in all its glory is a beautiful Sinclair dinosaur!

anyone know if the Sinclair dinosaur had a name?

"The Little Brown Church in the Vale"

is just outside Nashua, IA.  It has about

60 members and even boasts a choir.

The sanctuary.

We picnicked in the park overlooking

Cedar Lake.

Mason City is where part of "The Music Man"

musical was filmed, thus the Music Man Square.

Home of Meredith Willson, composer of the

music for "The Music Man".

Bill kept humming "76 Trombones in

the Big Parade..."
