Well, here we are at Flandrau State Park in Minnesota. Just dropped my son off at Martin Luther College. We spent a couple of nights there since it's only about 5 minutes from the college. He's pretty amazing to me. All conference Offensive Line and Defensive End, 195 lb weight class Conference Champion in Wresting, Enlisted in the National Guard. He did his Basic Training last summer, and just got back from Artillery School 3 weeks ago. Worked on a Horse Ranch for three years. Bought his own truck and pays for everything that goes with it himself. I guess he's worth the second job I took to help out with tuition. We'll miss him, but glad when he can home for awhile. I'm pretty proud of him.

You learn him how 2 trap?
She should stay home and do more cooking like Babe Winkelmans wife did, and let her husband have some peace and quiet.

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Just step 1 of many steps. Be proud of your boy. Wishing him all the luck in the world.

Snowy, we are part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutherans (WELS). There are WELS churches all over the Nation / World. A guy I went to school with a has a son that graduated from there, that was called to a church in Alaska. MLC has students from all 50 states, and couple of foreign nations. They're a good bunch of kids there. All them are either becoming teachers or pastors.
