My grandfather, Irwin Busby, lived just outside of Peterson, IA for many years. Peterson is located about 20 miles southwest of Spencer IA, or 35 miles southwest of Lake Okoboji, near the Iowa/Minnesota border. My dad, Richard Busby, graduated from Peterson High School in 1946 (I think that's the year; I may be off one year either way though). He had two sisters, Jean and Evelyn, and two brothers, Harold and Steve. > My last name of Beck is an adopted one--my mother remarried when I was 11 years old and I was adopted by my stepfather.
