On this episode we listen back to two previous conversations. First, ISU researcher Sarah Francis tells us about the correlation between our view of exercise and our fear of aging.
Then, Linn County native Fred Taylor completed his degree requirements to graduate from Cornell College in 1943, but his father had to pick up his diploma, as he was in basic training for the Army Air Corps Reserve during World War II. Eighty years later, the 101-year-old La Mesa, California resident was surprised by his daughter Linda with a trip to Iowa to attend Cornell's commencement with the Class of 2023. Taylor's visit included a special reception at Drake University where he received his Master's degree 70 years ago and a quest to eat some of the state's best-known cuisine.

- Fred Taylor, retired music educator, former lieutenant, U.S. Army Air Corps Reserve
- Linda Taylor, Fred's daughter, professor emerita of anthropology, University of Miami
