Tackes get visit, long- distance wave from traveling grandson
- The Network New Ulm Community Leadership cohort spent their March session in St. Paul. After a tour of the U. S Bank Stadium and lunch at the League of MN Cities office with Gary Carlson, Intergovernmental Relations Director, the group walked over to the State Capitol. There they met with Senator Gary Dahms and Representative Paul Torkelson followed by a visit with Governor Tim Walz (above). Before returning to New Ulm, they had a guided tour of the Capitol building. Thanks to day chairs Chad Cooreman and Tyler Berg for making all of the arrangements. Network New Ulm meets one day per month, September through May. (Submitted photo )

Birkholtz has been living overseas in southeast Asia doing missionary work. He recently returned to the United States on extended leave to visit friends and family. He wanted to see his grandparents, but due to their age, he decided to use caution.
Birkholtz was joined by his friend and college friend Xingwei Ao who is interning at St. Paul’s Luthern School. The two greeted William and Mae from the end of the driveway.
Birkholtz said he was excited for this chance to see everyone, but COVID-19 has limited contact. He is hopeful to have a chance to see his grandparents again in August to celebrate his grandfather’s 90th birthday.
