I came to Ames in 1979 and basically never left. Still work for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (Science and Humanities for us back then) as an adviser and student recruiter. I am an Ames history buff and absolutely see 1965-1990 as the biggest time of change here. As progressives in the 80s, we truly understood we were following a long line of change agents and visionaries! I even got myself elected to the Ames City Council 15 years ago and served a term. Didn’t get re-elected because, as I see it, I must have done something right! 🙂
