A proud fan of the University of Iowa and thankful to a customer, who helped begin high-level window washing


Happy Homecoming weekend everyone! Here's to the quest for the Rose Bowl in 2010 for the Iowa Hawkeyes ...

The University of Iowa was our first high-level window washer customer back in 1957 for Tucker® brand of products. Of course, we have enjoyed providing products to the various Big Ten schools over the years. The educational facility market has always been an enjoyable market for the Tucker Pole.

Personally, we had a great Friday night with 12 Washington High School freshman and a lovely home dinner before the Homecoming dance. Thank you to the Ross family for hosting a wonderful dinner. It was enjoyable seeing the young girls and boys and networking and visiting with parents.

Now, it's Hawkeye Football and Homecoming weekend in Iowa City! #17 Iowa hosts #21 Penn State at Kinnick Stadium at 7 p.m. Central Time, also nationally on ESPN. We know a number of friends, neighbors and family that are looking forward to the game tonight at Kinnick and on ESPN. My second game ever in Kinnick Stadium was in 1974, with my parents, Tommy and LaVerne, for the Iowa-PSU game.

Here's to a win at Kinnick Stadium tonight. On Iowa! We look forward to be in attendance for what should be an outstanding game. Iowa-PSU is tied 11-11 lifetime, though Iowa has won seven over the past eight games vs. Joe Paterno and the Nittany Lions.
