Princess Pocahontas can't find husband

No matter how hard she tried, Debby “Pocahontas” Eaton couldn’t find her husband among the thousands of RAGBRAI riders who swarmed into her namesake town Monday morning.
“Does anybody know John Smith?” the Indian princess yelled, referring to her husband from Virginia’s historic Jamestown settlement. “Has anyone seen him?”
Dressed in a plain brown dress (and what we suspect may have been a wig), Pocahontas posed for photos with riders while her sidekick, Mary Ohrtman, attached small feathers to their helmets.
Pictured here with the princess, from left, are three first-time riders from Spirit Lake: Steve Whiting, his brother Bryon Whiting and Bill Cochran-Bray.
