From last week, heard on KXEL, in Jeff Stein’s “Iowa Almanac”. Go to near the top of the April archives to hear more about these two events:
- On April 9, 1913, the Iowa Highway Commission became a state agency separate from Iowa State University.
- On April 10, 1994, the Iowa Firefighters Memorial was dedicated in Coralville. The idea came from Traer firefighter Mike Reuman.
