Looking forward to another Iowa vs. Penn State football game at Kinnick Stadium tonight

University of Iowa football is an event in Eastern Iowa. Of course, there are friends that would also suggest Ames (Iowa State), Cedar Rapids (Coe) and Cedar Falls (UNI).

It's Homecoming on Saturday night and the Hawkeyes look to take the Penn State series on the +1 side, as both teams open Big Ten play for 2010.

We invite you to contact us regarding your real estate needs this Autumn. You can visit our web site for more information.

Happy St. Joseph's Day Cedar Rapids; Congratulations Panthers!

Today, March 19, 2010 is St. Joseph's Day. Many will celebrate wearing the color red.

Tomorrow, our community will celebrate with the 33rd annual St. Joseph's Day Parade. Traditionally, here in Cedar Rapids, the Irish enjoy St. Patrick's Day and the Czech enjoy St. Joesph's Day. Of course, we can all enjoy celebrating being Irish and Czech once a year.

It's healthy to be proud of one's heritage. Here's information on various Local Ethnic Clubs and Organizations in the City of Five Seasons.

We are proud to congratulate the University of Northern Iowa with the Panthers first round win in the NCAA Tournament on Thursday night in Oklahoma City. Robin and Carole Tucker are proud to be Panther parents!

P.S. - Robin's daughter, Cheryl (I.L. 'Tommy' Tucker's granddaughter), is a student at the University of Northern Iowa. Tommy Tucker was involved in the establishment of the UNI Real Estate program at the University of Northern Iowa.

The First Round of the NCAA Tournament begins today

It's March Madness time! The NCAAs are upon us and many of you hopefully have your brackets filled out.

Robin Tucker had the pleasure of attending an Universality of Memphis Executive Education for the Global Leader course back in September 2006 in St. Louis, MO. It was a collaboration between FedEx Human Resource Development Department and the Wang Center of International Business at The University of Memphis.

So, here's my final pick for 2009:

The University of Memphis Tigers

Other Final Four teams:

UNC, Louisville and Villanova

My alma mater, Creighton University was a final bubble team this year. They will play in the second round of the NIT vs. the University of Kentucky on Monday night. Not quite the same.

The University of Iowa, Iowa State University and Drake University all came up short this year.

We do want to wish our daughter's school the very best in the NCAA Tournament. The University of Northern Iowa Panthers will face the Purdue Boilermakers in Portland, OR today. The Panthers will carry the torch for the MVC this season.

January 9, 2009 - We honor the 60th Wedding Anniversary of Tommy & LaVerne Tucker

Every January 9Th, the standing joke between Robin Tucker, now broker/officer of Tommy Tucker Realty Co. with his parents, Tommy and LaVerne Tucker, was a quick happy birthday send off. From 1969-1974, Richard Nixon served as President of the United States.

But, really, January 9Th had much more significance than the birthday of our 37Th President of the United States.

It was January 9, 1949. Tommy and LaVerne Tucker were married in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. They had met on a blind date, while both were students at Coe College. Today, January 9, 2009, Tommy and LaVerne Tucker celebrate their 60Th wedding anniversary. They will celebrate the event with a trip to Hawaii this month.

In 1958, Tommy founded Tommy Tucker Realty Co. Tommy Tucker Realty Co. celebrated its 50Th anniversary as a company, last year. Tommy entered the real estate profession in 1955.

LaVerne retired from real estate at the end of 2007.

Tommy Tucker has been recognized by the Cedar Rapids Association of Realtors (CRAAR) and the National Association of Realtors (NAR) as a REALTOR® Emeritus. He is a past president of the CRAAR and the Iowa Association of Realtors. He also served as a national vice president of NAR.

The Iowa Realtor Foundation offers the I.L. "Tommy" Tucker Scholarship. Mr. Tucker, along with other Realtors, help establish the University of Northern Iowa Real Estate Education Program.

Today, we sincerely wish our founder, Tommy Tucker, and his wife, a Happy 60Th Wedding Anniversary. Congratulations Dad & Mom! Robin Tucker
