This page shouldn't become a duplicate of Grinnell College's, so I'm inclined to say Herbie Hancock doesn't belong on the list of famous residents; unlike the other three listed at the moment (Flanagan, Hopkins, Noyce), I don't think he was ever anything more than a student at the college.

I stubed in an entry for Grinnell Mutual. As this company is based in Grinnell, I think it should be mentioned on the Ginnell page. Not being from Grinnell, I wasn't sure the best way to work this in. I was hoping someone who works on this page could find a way to add it. Thanks. HornColumbia

I noticed there have been many vandalism reverts here recently. The vandalism all comes from the IP below. It traces to the K-12 school district in Grinnell Iowa. If needed we could ask to have this IP blocked, or ask the schools IT people to block the site. However, it is probably just a few kids making a joke. The other option is just to wait for them to grow up. At least they are learning to write! I haven't dealt with much wiki vandalism, so any other user's thoughts on this are welcome.
