Dan Clark reads his blog post about Muscatine's Alexander G. Clark (http://iowaglobal.blogspot.com/2006/08/long-overdue-attention-for-alexander-g_25.html) and tells about the prize-winning paper about A.G. Clark by Stephen Frese. (More at http://alexanderclark.org and http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/ht/40.1/frese.html.) Also, callers try to answer Dan's question, "Who was Pearl McGill?"

Dan Clark talks with Peter and Marie Press about writing and producing "Muscatine! the Musical." See http://web.mac.com/press_a/iWeb/Muscatine!%20The%20Musical/The%20Production.html. Peter died of cancer at age 52 on Nov. 30, 2008.

Dan Clark starts with a 1949 recording of William D. Randall reading his story, "Jimmy White Finds Freedom: Slavery and Alexander Clark," then discusses Black History of Muscatine with Annabell Luth and Kent Sissel. Annabell is descended from early settlers who were among the first African Americans in Iowa, and Kent is restorer and resident of the 1878 Alexander G. Clark House.

Dan Clark interviews John Haskins, founder of Friends of the Old  Barn. The FOB's first meeting was that evening.
