In 1976. 1977. 1978. we had a Republican Governor in Iowa by the name of Bob Ray. and that was at the time of the Vietnam boat people. People were fleeing that area of the country. getting in boats and going out to sea. Our Republican Governor at that time. from Iowa. which one would not expect. went to the refugee camps and started a program within our State with the cooperation of Iowa citizens generally and Iowa churches in which we actually recruited those people to come to our State. It caused some eyebrows to be raised around the country because one would not think stodgy old Iowa would be of that nature. but I think it reflected well on our State. Those people came to our State. and we put food together for them.
