Forgotten History Oelwein: Dexter David Donovan
History is fun, no? When I think of historical things , I think of the Roman Coliseum, Stonehenge, the pyramids of Egypt, or Dexter David Donovan, the KCRG puppet who did the weather. What s that? You don t remember him? Me either in all honesty. He was on and off TV before I was born. But I was fascinated to learn he even existed. Whether you remember him fondly, vaguely, or this is the first you re hearing about Donovan, here s a little more forgotten Cedar Rapids and Eastern Iowa history.
Finding info on an obscure regional puppet from the 1960 s isn t easy
