My next trip was to the Department of Minnesota to attend National President Kris Nelson's Homecoming in Minneapolis. Along with me was my wife Anita and we got to fly 1st Class on the way up. Good times.
When we arrived we were met by Steve Sullivan who made sure we got to the hotel from the airport. Thanks Steve. Once my wife and I got settled in we went over to the Mall of America and did a little shopping for a gift for Kris and I found, what I thought was the perfect gift. A sterling covered and engraved note pad and pen. It was something, I thought Kris could use during her year as National President.
That evening we attended a "Taste of Minnesota" Dinner which was very good. Entertainment was awesome and we had a great time dancing a enjoying the music. Of course, I didn't do a lot of dancing.
Saturday was the day I was looking forward to. We took a trip over to the Historic Fort Snelling and you talk history. There we had an opportunity to visit the Fort and talk to the staff who were all dressed up in period clothing. It was a very cool experience. After the Fort Snelling visit, the group went back to the Mall of America. This allowed us to get some lunch at the food court, pick up our gift for Kris and do some walking around to do a little more shopping.
That evening we attended the Homecoming Dinner. This was a very well attended function that was emceed by Past National Commander Dan Ludwig (MN). We had a great time.
My thank to Kris, Terry and the family for the great time. Also to The Minnesota American Legion Family for the great hospitality that was shown to my wife and I while we were there.
