On Tuesday, July 4, 1950, vacationing in Osceola from Muscatine with his family, Dale wrote, “Fourth of July in Osceola. Saw parade in the morning and stayed on a blanket in the park all day. Saw everybody, even saw Harley wrestle. Home at 10:30. Kids are really tired.” Harley was one of Helen’s brothers. Above: the bandstand in the park.
