Minnetonka Mini-School Archives

We the unwilling, led by the unqualified, have been doing the unbelievable for so long, with so little, we now attempt the impossible with nothing. - Mini-School Credo

Alumni News

November 1, 1992 by Mini Archives

Tim Lindquist — mid 80’s — visited me this summer. He’s nearing the end of his hitch in the navy. Tim has been stationed much of the time in New Zealand.

Jodie Holmgren — mid 80’s — married to Dan Deikel, also a former Mini-Schooler. I see Jodie working out at the Marsh.

Carl Schmidt — early 80’s — Carl is employed by a garage door company. He really stays in shape and credits Mini-School for instilling fitness goals in him.

Chris O’Dell — 1991 — Odie is living in northern California and working for his dad as a bricklayer. He visited Minnetonka this summer for his brother’s wedding, and he and I paddled across Lake Minnetonka on the windiest day of the summer. Odie carries on the Mini-School traditions of canoeing, backpacking, and living in harmony with the earth.

Dave Kolstad — 1990 — Dave has been working at a ski resort at Keystone Colorado. He plans to continue working there this winter. He works at the resort, and he plans to do some ski instruction, some ski patrol work, and some ski racing this winter. In true Mini-School tradition, he loves to spend time in the outdoors, and does a lot of hiking and mountain biking. He may look into attending Colorado Outward Bound School.

Dave Scott — 198? — Dave is now an electrical engineer living in the area. I asked him about his brother Tim, who is also doing well as a chef in a fine restaurant in San Francisco.

Tony Desantis — 1978? — and wife Stacy took Lester’s Annabelle the Pig away. Details? Read Pig Report.

Steve Bauman — Steve Bauman’s younger brother Adam (a student in Dawn’s 9th grade science class) reports that Steve is a wonder and a star at Normandale Community College!

Dave Webster — Dave stopped by the Computer Class one day. He’s doing well and commented that he sure wished Mini had had computers when he was here (the skills would sure be useful to him now).
