Many, many thanks to all who responded with information about Iowa resources! Thank you! Now why couldn't I turn any of that up on a search? Someday I may get the hang of doing "smart searches". Anyhow, so all may benefit from the responses I received, here's a list of information that was sent to me...hope you all find something here you didn't already know about, and if someone finds another not listed here (or accessible through these sites), I'd welcome those too!
