Brainerd High School students head to their cars in the lower level school parking lot Thursday, Feb. 18, after classes. In-person classes resumed for all grades this week, although students still have the choice to learn from home. Steve Kohls / Brainerd Dispatch
I was raised on a farm in western Minnesota where I participated in 4-H, high school sports, and everything that farm kids do for fun after chores. Graduated from Ridgewater Community College with an AA degree and my first taste of newspapering. I worked a summer on the Ortonville Independent as a reporter and photographer.
