Richard Gage, a member of the American Institute of Architects, a 23-year practicing Bay Area professional architect, and founder of Architects & Engineers for 911 Truth, addressed an attentive crowd of 100 persons at the Ames City Auditorium in Ames, Iowa on the evening of April 3, 2011. Mr. Gage presented a stimulating and persuasive multimedia program on the topic "What the Media is NOT telling you, 9/11: Blueprint for Truth", lasting approximately two hours, followed by Q & A. A poll of the audience taken at the beginning of the program indicated that about 15% of the audience members believed the official story narrative about 9/11 offered by the government and most media, that Osama bin Laden and 19 Arab terrorists were responsible, was essentially correct. The same question posed again at the end of the presentation indicated unanimity among those present that the government's story was essentially inaccurate and misleading.

Mr. Gage appeared on the following evening, April 5, at the Adel, IA public library, the home base of the sponsoring group, 911 Truth of Central Iowa. He was enthusiastically greeted by 35 of that group's members and guests. He presented a slightly shorter version of his talk of the night before, with graphics, and participated with the group in a spirited and informative discussion of a number of aspects of the 9/11 events.
