In State Center, Iowa

Hot here.  Drove from Lake Ahquabi State Park south of Indianola, IA this morning.  Had camped there 2 nights with Connalley's.  Had taken in 2 evenings of the National Balloon Festival with ideal weather. 
We drove to Des Moines on Friday and visited with Bill Oberholzer who had been hospitalized several weeks with pneomonia in the middle of chemo and radiation for lung cancer.  He was very"up" and hoping to get out of the hospital this week so he could come to the Kenwood summer rally a few days.  We left him, Twila, and Bill's cousin from Georgia and her friend about 4pm.  Got a call from Twyla about 7:30 Saturday morning that Bill had passed away.  After getting his vitals at about 7 and all was fine, he buzzed the nurse and was found bleeding from the mouth and nose.  Twyla was called, but he died before she got there.  There was thought of maybe a blood clot and it moved to the heart.  He had said Friday that he had bloody stools, but thought that was from heavy pneomonia meds and reaction to the chemo or radiation.  An autopsy is to be performed and then his body is to be cremated.  Twyla will make plans Monday for a Celebration of Life, probably this week.
With 30 to 40 people from Kenwood to be here this week, we are hoping to attend.
Our rally doesn't start until Tuesday, but but there are 10 or 12 RV's here already this afternoon.

Will try to set up the computer tomorrow and post some pictures.
This is poked out on the phone.
