Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Brown Stump With John Edwards

On Monday night, November 20th, I had the pleasure of attending John Edwards' campaign event in Sincliar Auditorium at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Brown opened the event with a free concert - forty minutes of great music.

John Edwards gave an excellent speech that lasted for about an hour. I am a Democrat but I don't endorse any candidate here on my blog. I recommend that you see all the candidates in person, as you will have much better impressions of them as potential leaders. Edwards is a man with some good ideas.

It is with pleasure that I want to announce that my book on Iowa's One-room Schools has begun the production phase of publication. Paul Theobald of Buffalo State College in Buffalo, NY, has written a wonderful introduction. Paul holds a doctorate degree in Rural and Urban Education whose books are used as texts for graduate level courses.

My other book, Iowa's County Courthouses, will enter the production phase by year's end.

Both books should be available in early 2009.
