The Dad's on the Chaska team were trying to teach me how to use the new camera... I need to get the manual out and read it!

Tana; UR the Best!!! Thanks for the package!

(the last full season at the DECC - UMD is building a new rink, but I still think this rink has the most beautiful view of Lake Superior!)

(well known views in Duluth: the drawbridge, Grandmas; you haven't lived until you try the wild rice soup and a malt and the boats in the harbor surrounded by ice)
