I regret to inform that I don't no what you mean by "LOWAN" . And it will be an honer to me if we have something common.

No, sorry, I thought with your interest in Iowa stories you might be living in my home state of Iowa, USA. The typeface has us mixed up - in lower case it is clearer - our typefaces make the upper case "i" look like a lower case "L": Thus, "Are you an iowan?", meaning from iowa (Iowa).

Thanks for your kind words. An honor to me as well, friend! It's the great thing about the web, yes?
