John Schlotterback was rocking away!

Here's a rocking chair made by skilled hands of John Schlotterback for his wife and is now in a museum in Iowa.  


Think about it, this would not have been easy to make!   Koodo's John Schlotterback!

Is this our Coat of Arms?

Rumor has it this could be our official Coat of Arms.  


Does anyone have any ideas if this is true???
