Anna Rea
HERITAGE AUTO TOUR
Anna Rea and her primary crew members, Kevin Szcodronski and Ann Raisch successfully completed the Iowa State Parks Heritage Auto Tour. Anna Rea at 92 years of age performed dutifully throughout the 94 state parks tour. She had a few "hiccups" along the way, but nothing that took us off the planned schedule. We want to thank all the people that joined us on the tour and the park staff and friends groups members that spoke to us while we visited the state parks. We also want to thank Jessica Reuter for designing this website and Jessica Rilling for her early enthusiasm and support as we planned the tour. We are particularly grateful for the generous monetary donation from Tracy Burt to help develop this website.
NOTE: This website will be shut down this coming December. One last time, Anna Rea says, "AHOOOOOGA"!!
