1006 Summit on view

I have not been in the governor’s mansion since 1974 when I was [along with about 80 others] the guest of Wendell Anderson for supper.

I do not know how much it has changed. I do suspect that they no longer have ash trays with special commemorative match books any longer.

But in the spirit of announcing upcoming public events, I should note that the place [located at 1006 Summit, for those who may not know] will be open to free public tours from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. the first three Tuesdays of the next three months.

Photo ID is required for admittance. Somehow I suspect that Marty Seifert must be chuckling.

FYI: 1006 Summit

The last time I was in the Governor’s mansion was in 1974 when Wendell Anderson was governor where with about 100 other people. I had a light supper and talked with a lot of other people who were [or thought they were] some of the movers and shakers of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party and/or the state of Minnesota.

I don’t know when or if I will ever get back to that building, but I will pass on that the mansion will be open for public tours [with no apparent political connection required] on the first three December Thursdays, from 1 to 3 in the afternoons.
