The big day for news was in Jan- uary when President Reagan was inaugurated and the American hostages were released from Iran after 444 days of captivity. The hostages, including Kathryn Koob of Jesup. Iowa, were honored with parades and celebrations as Americans everywhere opened their hearts to welcome them home.
