5/20/08 – New crew members Marc Le Voir and Ellyn Phearman have arrived. Marc, Bill Hansen’s nephew, lives in Maple Lake, Minn., and just finished freshman year at Bemidji State University where he studies philosophy and German. Reckon this one’s a thinker. Ellyn grew up in Watertown, Minn., and just finished freshman year at Luther College in Iowa where she’s studying biology with aims of becoming a surgeon. Check her out brandishing cutlery below. Someday it could be surgical instruments. – Lee
