54. Paul Wellstone's tragic death hit many of us hard. He a good man
Fri May 23, 2025, 11:33 AM
Friday

and a loss to all of us. I lived in Minneapolis at the time-actually in MN for about 25 years near Lake Harriet. We used to roller blade around the lake --at the time. U of Minneapolis--MN is my alma mater.
Grieve as you have to--it is goof for the soul. But it does get better--good memories stay with us.
