Reading the obit for Tom Braden, I was surprised to learn he was a native of Greene, Iowa. I know people from Greene, although they would be the age of some of Tom's "Eight Is Enough" brood. And that Braden generation is not from Greene. But the Iowa Connection is flexible enough. It counts.
I've got news for the Des Moines Register. You have a database of Famous Iowans but Tom Braden is not in it.
Neville Brand is, though. Neville Brand, the famous Iowan, who was born in Griswold (and I'll have you know I once lived in a town not far from Griswold, so that counts), and whose family moved to Mount Sterling, Illinois, when he was 1 year old.
