Dear friends and neighbors on the Iron Range, We’re still in a holding pattern as we wait for the special session to be officially called. While there’s been no formal announcement yet, it is guaranteed to be held soon, maybe even by the end of this week. As soon as we have more information, I will share updates. Memorial Day Last weekend, I enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate Memorial Day in our community. Senator Rob Farnsworth and I went to Eveleth and Chisholm to attend their services. It was nice to visit with the Motley family at the Eveleth service. Both programs had beautiful memorial services and local high school bands to perform in honor of our fallen heroes. I also attended the Forbes Riverside Chapel service, which reminded me of the many Sundays I spent there as a child. Their service included a speaker, live music, and a nice lunch. Following that, they read the names of all veterans who have been laid to rest in the Forbes and McDavitt cemeteries, which includes my father, who was an Air Force Veteran, SSGT Daniel Warwas. Thank you to the church and community for organizing and hosting this memorial service. |
