ETA - Smith's base was around central Iowa IIRC.

We have lost a couple of districts over the years.
What King has now was once the 6th (actually we were once up to 8).

The last lefty from that area was probably Berkley Bedell. That would have been in the 80s I would guess.

Bed time for me so I will check that out tomorrow if I remember.
