Hello!! We are happy , proud, and excited to become your new Iowa Good Sam State Directors.
We have been members since 1998, and we have been the Central Iowa Asst Directors for 6 years during these years we have had a chance to meet a lot of people along with making many friends.
Dale retired from MidAmerican Energy where he had worked for 38 years as an Accounting Manager. Cheryl Also worked at MidAmerican for 16 years and runs a small business from home.
We have 7 children, 12 grandchildren and many furry family members. Currently, we are in University Park and are moving this summer to a new home.
We, like many of you, started camping in a tent (in the rain first time out) and gradually moved up to a 5th wheel. Over our 30 years we have camped in many places and made many new friends. We have had so much fun!
We look forward to working with Iowa State Staff, who in our thoughts are the"BEST" and to continue to increase our membership and increase Rally attendance.
Have a safe and fun camping season!!
