On the Shoulders of Giants

DateFriday, February 11, 2011 at 6:55AM | by AuthorDavid Tinjum |

From River Talk:


None of us works alone, and none of us is the first person ever to think and act to rejuvenate a riverfront.  Those of us fortunate to work on the future of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis truly stand "on the shoulders of giants."



We lost one of those giants last month, when Betsy Doermann, former secretary of the St. Anthony Falls Heritage Board and staff at the Minnesota Historical Society, died at 79.
