Rivers that we grew up on and grew to love, but respect so much - even more now. A graduate of CJHS in 1982, it's been a while since I "lived" in the CJ area (I'm from Conesville), but my mom lives in Fredonia. She was evacuated Saturday morning to the L-M school. Scared and tired, she was relieved to return to her childhood home in Fredonia today and discover it COMPLETELY DRY! we consider ourselves extremely lucky. many in this tiny community and across the Iowa river in CJ are not so fortunate. Our hearts and thoughts go out to this community. CJ is built on the backs of strong, independent and wonderfully full-hearted folks. They'll need all of that and more to reclaim their town from the river that gives "Junction" its name. GOD SPEED. Eric,
