If you are passing through Iowa on I-80 stop at Feller's hometown of Van Meter --just west of Des Moines. The locals have a very nice museum and a lot of Feller autographed memorabilia for sale. John Wayne's home town, Winterset, is also close by and also the famed covered bridges of Madison County. A former Iowegian.
