Once in a lifetime a story will change your heart and your perspective...
John Jenkins, a young journalist, is marking off time at the small-town Marquette Messenger until he can get into the big-league newspapers. After all, nothing significant ever happens in a farming community, he thinks. Then one day Jenkins is given a routine, dull assignment—to write the obituary of an elderly local farmer, Alfred Gutzman. The remarkable untold story Jenkins uncovers through his investigation, happenstance en-counters with people who knew Gutzman, and covert visits to his farm, challenge everything the young reporter holds dear...

"This dental office is the best. Dr. Serafimov is kind, sensitive, profes-sional and extremely gifted in his abilities. I thank them for helping me through a very difficult time after breaking my jaw and needing a lot of dental work."
James Anderson
"My fiancé had been going to Dr. Lubomir's office for several years and he recommended me to them. I dragged my feet for almost a year, telling him that 'dentists were scary and that it was going to hurt.' He told me that the staff was great and that unlike other dental offices he had been to, they didn't judge or lecture you.
"I finally got up the nerve to go in and found that it was just like he said. There is always some anxiety going in for my appointments. However, the entire staff is very personable and they treat you like a close friend, and it really helps put me at ease. Dr. Lu is very patient and calm and is genuinely concerned with providing you with a comfort-able experience. I look forward to my appointments now because not only am I doing something positive for myself, but because I know it will be a pleasant experience from start to finish."

Fred Lawshe, center in the black hat, was often consulted when con-struction crews or gravel mining operations uncovered a relic or skel-etal remains that were thought to be connected to either the original aboriginal inhabitants of South St. Paul or the Mdewankanton Dakota, who lived at Kaposia village from the 1830s until 1854. Lawshe’s per-sonal collection of artifacts was exhibited through his work as founder of the Dakota County Historical Society in 1939.
