SUNDROP
I look forward to handing out Sundrop to the LQPV students every Lac qui Parle Valley Homecoming. It’s so much fun to see the kids expressions when they see the pop and I hear a “thank you” Oh the happiness that Sundrop brings. The Madison and Appleton Chambers of Commerce get together every homecoming to supply a little treat for the kids during homecoming festivities … Continue reading SUNDROP
COUSINS
As a young boy my cousins Mike and Mark were some of my best friends. We saw each other often and got along well. I think that is pretty common with most families.

I turn 64 this month and thoughts of retirement have crossed my mind recently. Last weekend at our class reunion I was surprised at how many classmates have decided to retire. When will I know that I want to retire? Friday night I was in Tracy to broadcast a football game between Lac qui Parle Valley and the Panthers of Tracy-Milroy-Balaton. As I was getting … Continue reading RETIRE?
