This week, we’re thrilled to honor Duane Aistrope as our 2025 Homecoming Parade Grand Marshall!
During his high school years, Duane was active in nearly every aspect of school life. He participated in basketball, band, swing band, chorus, show choir, speech, class plays, and student council. He was honored to be selected as Homecoming King—an event that took place fifty years ago this fall. Outside the classroom, Aistrope was a dedicated 4-H member, serving as a club officer, county council member, and camp counselor at the Iowa State 4-H Center. He also took on the unique responsibility of driving a school bus route and transporting students to various school activities—a true reflection of his work ethic and commitment to his community.
Throughout his life, Duane has been deeply committed to serving his community. His past involvement includes leading the Riverside Rockets 4-H Club, serving 18 years on the Fremont County Fair Board, and helping establish the Fremont-Mills Soccer Club, where he assisted in constructing the facilities. Duane was also a longtime Trustee of the Randolph United Methodist Church, a member of the Fremont County 911 Emergency Management Board, and served over a decade on the Fremont County Farm Bureau Board. His leadership extended beyond the county, representing Iowa on the Iowa Corn Promotion Board for 16 years and the U.S. Grains Council for 15 years, including several years in elected leadership positions with both organizations.
Today, Aistrope continues to play a vital role in the community. He has served as a Riverside Township Trustee for more than 20 years and is an active member of the Waubonsie Gun Club, supporting local fire and rescue fundraising. As Fire Chief of the Randolph Fire Department, Duane has led for 25 years and has been a member for nearly five decades. He’s also a familiar face on Friday nights as part of the Fremont-Mills football sideline crew, where he’s volunteered for over 20 years and remains actively involved in countless school and community initiatives that reflect his lifelong dedication to service.
Duane said, “I’ve always believed that the Fremont-Mills school district is one of the best places to raise a family. It offers a high-quality education where students are known, supported, and encouraged to succeed. Beyond the academics, what makes Tabor and Fremont-Mills truly special is the sense of community — people genuinely care about one another and are always willing to lend a hand when someone needs help. It’s a place where neighbors look out for each other, where families feel connected, and where the school serves as the heart of the community. It’s been a blessing to be a part of such a special community, and I’m proud to call it home and to have raised my family here alongside my wife, Squeak.”
