A
My
husband
inherited
a
house
here
when
his
parents
passed
away
and
we
had
a
house
that
was
paid
for
we
were
both
in
graduate
school
finishing
our
dissertations
and
moving
to
a
place
like
ames,
which
is
a
lovely
community.
Where
you
have
a
house.
That's
paid
for
when
you're
in
graduate
school
is
a
really
compelling
idea.
I
got
a
job
at
iowa
state
university
immediately
in
1993.
A
A
A
A
I've
been
doing
a
lot
more
with
campustown
action
association
and
trying
to
attend
more
of
the
the
great
main
street
cultural
district.
Events
like
the
music,
walk
and
art
walk,
and
I
really
like
those
opportunities
to
get
into
the
commercial
districts
and
just
walk
around
and
socialize
with
people.
A
I
love
just
being
able
to
go
into
an
ames
restaurant
and
sit
down
and
order
a
glass
of
ice
water
and
know
it's
going
to
taste
great,
and
I
love
having
excellent
water
coming
out
of
my
tap
at
home.
I
think
city
council
is
more
about
serving
your
ward
and
and
the
interests
of
the
people
in
the
community.
A
A
So
right
now
I
have
the
goal
of
trying
to
identify
a
way
in
which
we
can
improve
those
relations
and
actually
create
a
strategy
for
enhancing
the
great
relationship
that
iowa
state
and
the
city
already
have,
because
I
think
we
could
be
even
better
and
there
are
small
things
that
we
could
do
and
I
don't
know
whether
I'll
be
able
to
accomplish
that.
But
I
think
it's
a
noble
goal,
because
ames
is
a
great
place
already
and
I'd
love
to
see
it
even.
