Pastor Bob Westfall speaks with Julie and Raymond Jorgensen. They are leaving New Covenant after 12 years in service at NCBC. They are moving back to their native Michigan where Ray has accepted a job with GE-Aviation in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
They had to correct the Pastor which state they were moving to.

Iowa Interstate SASI's
Extra section of SASI came first thru Coralville. It does look like a race between the train and a vehicle on Hwy 6.
Video below.
Couple hours later, the main section of the SASI passes Hawkeye(Tiffin, IA) with 516 on the point.
The unit led the CBBI-09 the previous evening across Western Iowa and was pulled overnight at South Amana.
