We have been learning about David Hansvick, who grew up in Vesta during the 1950s and ‘60s. Having already figured out Redwood Falls’ Lincoln School and made friends during junior high school, Dave was better prepared for his high school years. Dave recalled that obtaining a Minnesota ...
To the editor: AI, friend or foe? Probably both, but I tend to lean more toward foe.
