5/20/06 – On Wednesday, Mary Alice, Frank and I attended the 18th Annual Northeastern Minnesota Book Awards ceremony in Duluth where Mary Alice’s book Sawbill: History and Tales was nominated as a book that best represents northeastern Minnesota’s history, heritage, culture and lifestyle for books published in 2005. It’s a great honor to be considered for such a prestigious award and we’re very proud of Mary Alice for her outstanding accomplishment. – Lida
