ually shared his research and knowledge of local history with the community. Examples
of physical history shared include Military Road and the Grey Cloud Island Lime Kiln. His
latest project of note was bringing the faces and names together of Minnesotans who
served in the Vietnam War.

vacant term on the Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation ending February 29,
2016.
