I grew up in Minnesota.

I grew up in Stillwater, Minnesota in a proud Catholic family.

I used to spend my holidays there in my grandparents' large family house, with my numerous cousins. When I die, I am going to be buried in the village cemetery.

I lived in Minnesota in a small town.

I was born in 1940 in Minnesota and grew up in the country... dirt roads, swamps, lakes, woods.

I live in the county where my mother was born and buried.

I grew up all over Idaho - I was born in Emmett, a very small town.

I know I have an awful lot to learn from the people of Minnesota.

I was born and grew up in Fitzgerald, way down in south Georgia. It was a mill town and my family ran the cotton mill. My grandfather was mayor many times and my family felt deeply rooted to that spot.
