Changing Lives One Veteran At a Time
If you ask Kim Gould, she'd probably say she isn't a hero, she just works with them. Kim, a Moline agent, works full-time as the Executive Director for the Iowa Chapter of Paralyzed Veterans of America (Iowa PVA). As the Executive Director, Kim coordinates events and fundraising for the chapter. Her job is not always easy, as the organization relies solely on private donations and grants. Membership in Iowa PVA is free, and consists of veterans of the United States Armed Forces who have suffered a spinal cord injury or received a diagnosis of disease affecting the spinal cord. However, all events hosted by the Iowa PVA are open to any veteran. These events are also co-hosted by organizations like the Disabled American Veterans of Iowa and the Iowa Veterans Home. One of the most recent examples is the Fishing Trip taken to Minnesota. "We had one veteran who was newly blind," Kim said of the group,...

Father's Day Traditions At Ruhl&Ruhl
Remember the time your dad taught you how to fish? Or when he was teaching you how to drive, and you almost wrecked his car? What about those yearly summer traditions you had like going to the movies on Monday nights or having a big family dinner for Father's Day? Well, we here at Ruhl&Ruhl love celebrating family traditions, and Father's Day is no different. So we asked a few family members to share their Father's Day traditions. Check it out! "I am pretty easy so most days my wife and kids do a grill out for me with a big steak (my favorite) and they usually give me a few gifts (that I insist not be extravagant)." – Sean, Moline Office "My dad moved to Detroit four years ago, but every year before that, we used to participate in Ride the River on the Illinois bike paths. I loved being able to spend time doing something that we both loved, togethe...
