I just retired from managing the Minnesota DNR’s Media & Marketing Unit. I worked 25 years at the DNR following 15 years editing newspapers. I met my wife while in Journalism School at the University of Minnesota. Our honeymoon was a three-month hitchhiking trip through Europe, top to bottom. We plan to spend retirement traveling like crazy and relaxing at our lake cabin whenever we aren’t playing with the grandsons. Our son (Plymouth, MN), daughter (Land ‘O Lakes, FL) and their spouses have four very energetic little boys, ages 7 months to 7 years.
