The new Director of Operations for Red Wing Publishing joined us for dinner, congratulations, and a long overdue visit tonight. Stan and Laurie worked together at Southwest Newspapers for 30 years before Stan retired. Her recent promotion involves reponsibilities in the Hutchinson, International Falls and Shakopee units of Red Wing Publishing.
Laurie's late mother, Harriet, had numerous joint replacements, so Laurie gave Kathleen some pointers on successful joint replacement rehabilitation. Birdie's a big fan of Laurie's and is wondering when she's going to get an overnight at her Prior Lake home.

Craig Theis, ex-sales manager
turned mighty fisherman. |
Big topic of conversation was our former sales manager at Southwest Newspapers, Craig Theis, (left) who made the local news this week with a 533 pound marlin he caught near Hawaii on St. Patrick's Day. Stan and Laurie worked with Craig for fifteen years and still see him occasionally. Stan and Craig have caught limits of lake trout together, but never anything quite like this.
Check out the video below of his massive catch as told on KSTP's web site.
From time to time, people ask us how Craig is doing. Judging from the video of this tanned, healthy- looking fisherman from Shorewood, he's doing just fine. Have a look.
