Many states have passed some form of medical marijuana program, and 18 states have comprehensive adopted medical and adult marijuana programs. A comprehensive program is considered to be […]
Brother Templeman lived a life of selflessness and service, placing others before himself in every opportunity. Curtis served his fellow Americans in the US Army, fellow Iowans in the Iowa National Guard, his community as the President of the Newton Girls Softball League, his family as a devoted husband and father and his Union in […]
