We are struggling to find the words to express just what Dian’s benefit meant to our family. Just having all of you in our lives is a blessing in itself. Yet, you go above and beyond what friendship entails. The turnout was overwhelming, the items that were donated were astonishing and the meal was remarkable.

Thank you just doesn’t seem enough. We are so grateful to the Marble Rock Lions Club, the Rockford Lions Club, Schmitt Auctioneering and all who made the benefit possible. The benefit was astounding and filled our hearts with love. To the countless people who donated endless hours, we can’t express enough gratitude. To all the businesses and individuals who donated items, we are forever grateful for your tremendous generosity.

For everyone at the benefit, you are all remarkable people that have made a difference in our lives.

We are blessed beyond words. Throughout Dian’s battle with cancer and Gabe’s death, it has been the love, prayers, words of encouragement and acts of kindness that allows us to face each new day. The generosity of everyone continues to amaze us everyday and we will never forget the unbelievable kindness that our family has been shown.

Sincerely, —Dian and Rich Koenigsfeld Family

HAZEL DOWDEN!

YEARS OLD • FEBRUARY 20, 2010 Cards & letters may be sent to: Hazel Dowden 405 27th Ave. S, #13, Clear Lake, IA 50428

THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT Hazel Dowden’s life has spanned 18 presidents from William Howard Taft to Barack Obama.

SCHOOL DAYS Hazel attended a one room country school in Laurel, Iowa. Students…

• learned from one another across grade levels using their individual “text book” slates.

• learned TEAM WORK as they shared custodial tasks from out house detail to bucket brigade duty back and forth to neighbor’s pumps.

• played ageless recess games including Musical Chairs and Drop the Handkerchief.

• engaged in basic strength training as they dragged buckets of coal from the school coal shed.

• spent hours memorizing facts, songs like “I’m from I-O-WAY” and poetry.

When Hazel began high school, she and her friends loved to play basketball. These “hoopsters” helped jump start an Iowa tradition; teams like Hazel’s paved the way for Iowa to become a “hotbed” for girl’s basketball; amazing for a pre Title IX class of only 16.

MESSY TRANSIT Traveling to Grandma’s house was never easy…even prior to todays soaring gas prices and airport security hassles.

• In the early 1900’s, horse and buggy travel was difficult and expensive, especially in winter when bundling up in buffalo robes in horse-drawn bobsleds was the means of transportation.

• Even after 1913 when cheaper automobiles became available, hassles remained with rutted and muddy roads in warm months and drifted and impassable roads during winter months.

Hazel treasures her 1915 adventure to the San Francisco World’s Fair on the Union Pacific Railroad, especially the ostrich cart rides.

WE ARE WHAT WE EAT Hazel’s father was the local grocer and SLOW FOOD was the only food. Hazel remembers the beginning of “fast-food” in 1938 when the first drive-thru’s featured 15 cent hamburgers. In the 50’s TV dinners made it easy for families to catch “I Love Lucy” and “The Ed Sullivan Show”. How ironic that slow food reappeared on chic restaurant menus 100 years later.

GETTING “CONNECTED” During Hazel’s childhood, telephone service was only available with shared “party lines”; opportunities to listen in meant some news traveled fast. She has witnessed the technology explosion over the years -the shift to hand crank phones, to dial phones, to wireless, to cell phones, to Twitter and text messaging.

HANGING OUT Popular summer pass times changed over the years…

• In the 1900’s, Hazel and her friends headed for the ole’ swimming hole or went to the local ice cream parlor where a cone was only 5 cents. • Later destinations included country fairs, thrill rides on the Clear Lake roller coaster, Lady of the Lake Cruises and hanging out at Corner Drug. • During the Roaring 20’s, Hazel’s favorite dance moves were the Charleston and the Indiana Hop. CHORES WITH A PAST Hazel remembers a time when “doing the chores” was a real work-out. Kids had to beat rugs hung over a clothesline, scrub dishes in the sink, mow the grass with a rotary push mower and move snow with a shovel.
