Eddie, You left too soon. We used to have so many good times playing neighborhood football, golfing, fishing, cutting grass at Brookview Golf Course, and hanging around together. We used to get in trouble together sometimes too, like the night we got chased out of the swimming pools at a number of private country clubs. We both went to the U of M, where you met Stephanie Edwards from Thanks for the time you obligingly delivered my paper route for me for one dollar when I went of vacation. Sorry about not telling you about the Doberman Pinscher at the last house. |

After settling into another career, he continued to enjoy listening to and talking about music, especially jazz, blues and rock.

I, too, had the pleasure of knowing and dancing many times with Jim. i hope that his short life was filled with music and happiness. | |
From Dianne Cell Elliott on May 7th, 2011 | |
I knew Jimmy from age 3; we were family without being family. He loved to dance from a very early age, and fortunately kept his love alive all his short life. I will miss our dances together - he was the best dance partner I ever had. | |
From margo morris on May 11th, 2010 | |
I was lucky enough to dance with Jim at Barry Forman's bar mitzvah in seventh grade. Looking back on it now I think he was the original John Travolta! We won the jitter-bug contest that night and we were thrilled. I am so sorry Jim died before his time. I will remember him always as a very gentle man with many artistic talents. |

L Joanne Polinder (Detle), 77, passed away on May 8, 2020 at Legacy Salmon Creek in Vancouver, Washington. She was born on April 24, 1943 to Leonace Reed in Ashland, Wisconsin. She spent the early years living with her grandparents and had fond memories of her grandmother Mary all her life. Joanne was the oldest of her siblings. She graduated from St. Louis Park High School in St. Louis Park, MN in 1961. Joanne met Gene Polinder and married in June 1963. They had two children, Dawn Linn and Patrick Polinder. After they divorced' Joanne decided it was time to start fresh someplace other than Minnesota. She had planned on moving to the Pacific Northwest prior to getting married. So she had an auction and loaded what was left in a small u-haul trailer. Packed the kids in the car and made the trek cross country to Portland, Oregon. Gene returned and they moved to Vancouver, Washington and got remarried. Joanne held a number of jobs over the years. She was a typesetter, worked at the cannery, sold Avon and ran pilot car one season with Gene. She managed the books for him while he was a long haul truck driver. Gene passed away in 1989 after a stint with Hospice. Joanne was so impressed with the nurses, that after Gene passed, she went to school at Clark College in the nursing department. She did the prerequisites and the nursing program in two years and graduated with honors in 1991. Joanne spent a year working for the VA and then went to work for Hospice Southwest. She finished her nursing career working for Kaiser’s Hospice. She absolutely loved her job. Joanne loved her children, her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren. She loved a good book and dogs. She read about French bulldogs in a mystery novel and decided she had to have one. She ended up having four before she was no longer able to take care of a dog. Joanne is survived by her children, Dawn Linn and Patrick Polinder; grandson, Micheal Linn; great-grandchildren, Audrie Linn and Connor Linn; siblings, Jerry (Sally) Seidlitz, Terri Detle and Leo Zembrycki Jr.; Gene’s daughter, Denise (Barney) Hall and children, Carey, Nicole and Justin; brother-in law, Wayne (Helga) Polinder; and sister-in-law, Nila Polinder Joanne was predeceased by her husband, Gene; parents, Leonace Detle and Leo Zembrycki Sr.; siblings, Ricky, Shar and Gary Detle; and son-in-law, Dave Linn. Internment will be at Crawford Cemetery with Layne’s Funeral Home covering arrangements.

From Kathy Buresh Takacs on April 5th, 2022 | |
I am sorry we have lost our classmate Roger. He gifted the world with his good natured personality and always beautiful music. As a student in St. Louis Park, I had a relative that lived near the Eckers family home. I was always happy to be in the neighborhood when Roger had gathered student musician friends and their instruments at his home. Music played by the young hyper enthusiastic group was delightful! I have positive memories of Roger's good humor before, after, and sometimes during, school band practices. He had a way of creating upbeat moments during a sometimes otherwise uneventful day. (He seemed to be at his "finest" during our outdoor marching band practices!) Many years post high school, I landed in upstate NY. Roger was teaching there, post completing studies for his doctorate at the Eastman School of Music. In addition to a creative and outstanding teaching career, his Big Band and Quartet were well known for their week-end performances at many places and events in the Rochester NY area. I last saw Roger in 2011 at our amazing Class of 1961 50th Reunion. He was kind enough to assemble a highly talented group of musicians (including Jay Goetting.). Led by Roger, we were gifted with wonderful pre-reunion dinner music on the patio of the Minikahda Club. Perfect. Thank you, Roger. We'll miss you. |

Obituary | |
Edwins, Steven B. Surrounded by the love of his wife and sons, Steven B. Edwins passed away at his home on Sunday morning, December 14, 2014, at the age of 71. The above obituary was published on December 16, 2014 by Mpls Star and Tribune While attending Yale he studied under many talented professors, but became most passionate about low income housing in rural Appalachia. After graduating from Yale, he received a Robert F. Kennedy Fellowship and moved to Kentucky to continue his work in Appalachia. In the fall of 1970, he started teaching architecture at the University of Kentucky, where he researched issues of urban design and theory of architectural education. In 1976, Steve joined his teacher, mentor, and friend Edward Sovik ’39 at SMSQ Architects in Northfield, where he became principal and then owner. The morning of his first day of work at SMSQ he met his future wife, Jennifer Harvey Edwins ’74. Steve and Jennifer married on July 2, 1977, at Dundee Presbyterian Church in Omaha, Neb.. For a short time they lived in Minneapolis, before making their home in Northfield. While he worked on many different project types, Steve’s passion was church architecture and historic preservation. Even though he worked on buildings throughout the country, projects in Northfield were always especially important to him. From porch additions and house remodeling to the Northfield Public Library addition and the Boe Chapel renovation, as well as additions to St. John’s Lutheran Church, First United Church of Christ, and All Saints Episcopal Church, Steve contributed greatly to the architectural fabric of Northfield over his 38-year career at SMSQ. Guided by the notion that downtown Northfield should be a place for all to gather, live, work, and shop, Steve worked tirelessly with others to create a more vibrant downtown. As one of the founding members of the Northfield Heritage Preservation Commission, Steve saw the potential in Northfield and spent countless hours helping to create the downtown as we know it today. Through his work on the HPC, his long-term vision is reflected in the streetscape and many of the buildings in downtown Northfield. While he spent time preserving Northfield’s architectural past for future generations, he also saw the role that technology and media could play in Northfield’s community as a founding member of Northfield Public Access Television NTV26. For 25 years, he taught architectural design studios as an adjunct professor of architecture at St. Olaf College. Additionally, he served on various local and state historic review boards, lending his knowledge to others in the preservation, historical, and architectural communities. A man of humility, Steve was a behind-the-scenes leader, always willing to let others have the credit. He shared a very holistic view of Northfield and was patient and tireless in his commitment to make it a better place. Survivors include his wife of 37 years, Jennifer; his sons, Andrew and girlfriend Michele Goddard, and Daniel Edwins ’08; his brother, Rev. Michael Edwins; his mother-in-law, Jody Harvey; his sister-in-law, Patricia Goodwin and husband Bob; his nephew, Seth Goodwin; and many cousins and friends, including Katherine Edwins Schumm ’67. He was preceded in death by his parents and his father-in-law and good friend, Donald Harvey.

From Mike Rose on May 25th, 2020 | |
I first met Penny when I was 12 years old. Penny was new to the neighborhood and we met walking home from school one day. She said everyone calls her Penny but her full name is Penelope Alma Alden Elstrom. Penny did not look like or act like she should have such a formal name. I was very amused by her name and she was pleased that she was amusing me. Penny’s family was different than most of the families in the neighborhood. Most of our mothers stayed home and were house wives. Penny’s mom had a profession. She designed children’s clothing. Penny’s father was a consultant engineer, which we had no idea what that was. We only knew that he traveled and was rarely home. Her parents were focused more on their careers and less focused on being attentive parents. Although Penny lacked attention from her parents, any material thing she needed or wanted was available to her. I was always envious that she had her own Dayton’s charge card. My father, on the other hand, who had total control of all the money, let us know that if you want something beyond the basic necessities we would need to earn the money ourselves. Penny’s house became the hang out for the six of us neighborhood girls who hung out together. It was the perfect place. We had no parental interference at Penny’s and we could pretty much do what we wanted. We didn’t really do anything too bad. We smoked cigarettes, made prank telephone calls and invited the neighborhood boys over, one of which was my brother Mike. One night, however, we stole Penny’s father’s car and drove recklessly around the neighborhood. Of course, none of us were even old enough to have our driver’s license. Over time, Penny remained in Minneapolis and I moved to Spokane. For the next 40 years we maintained our relationship. Whenever I would call Penny, I would always start out by saying, “Is this Penlope Alma Alden Elstrom. Most of the time we found ourselves talking about all the crazy things we did in the past, both of us clinging to those days when nothing was too serious and having fun was our top priority. I really miss Penny.

Finally was able to connect to you, I have been extremely sad since I found your obituary. Every time my eyes water my wife thinks it is pollen related but I know diffierent. I realize now that every time I came home from the Navy, you should have been the first one I called. I have a wonderful wife of 50 years who has a friend we went to visit when we lived in GA. They had reconnected from HS. It turns out that her husband was Mike Noel, Class of 61 at SLP. I asked him if he knew you and he said yes. You were one of the ones that could be found and didn’t come to reunions. I found this odd as you last letter to me said you thought we shouldn’t go steady any more you wanted to do things Srs. do. That made sense to me. Unfortunately we stopped communicating then. After talking with Mike I kept trying to reconnect with you since the mid 90's. You have always been in mind since the day we met in '57. Where is she, is he ok, is she happy. I found Nancy's address using information from the obituary. It took me 3 months before I had nerve to bother her. She responded thru her granddaughter Jen, a very nice young lady. It is there that I learned why you didn’t go to reunions. I have been sad ever since. My wife, Jenny,and I also ah e one son, and his name is also Marc. The two, Mark/Marc are about a year apart. I am so sorry that I was not able to communicate with you when you needed it the most. i love, always have. Goodbye and finally be at peace. Love Bob |

Griak, Roy Age 91 of Plymouth, passed away peacefully at home on July 9 surrounded by his ador-ing family. Roy is survived by his love, Kay Richardson; sons Seth (Monica) and Jason (Nikki White); grandchildren Matt, Leah and Vincent; sister Dolly; nieces and nephews; and many, many athletes and friends. Preceded in death by beloved mother Mildred, father Milan, brother Steve and sister Kay. Roy graduated from Morgan Park High School in Duluth (1942). Always a patriot, Roy proudly served his country in the U.S. Army Infantry during World War II (1944-1946) in the South Pacific. When he returned home, he said he was returning to paradise. Roy earned a bachelor's degree in education (1949) and master's degree (1950) from the University of Minnesota, where he earned letters in both cross country and track & field. He started his teaching and coaching career in 1950 at Nicollet High School, followed by Mankato Public Schools and St. Louis Park High School. At St. Louis Park (1952-1963), his cross country team won two State titles (1955, 1961) and his track & field team won three State titles (1958, 1962, 1963). Roy became the men's cross country and track & field coach at the University of Minnesota in 1963, where he led the Golden Gophers for 33 years (1963-1996) and worked as an administrative assistant from 1996 until the time of his death, totaling 52 years of service to the U of M. He led the Gophers to Big Ten cross country titles in 1964 and 1969. His 1968 cross country team finished second at the Big Ten meet and placed fourth at the NCAA Championships. He led the 1968 track & field team to a Big Ten championship. He coached a total of 49 cross country and track & field All-Americans, including three NCAA champions, and his athletes earned 61 Big Ten Conference individual titles. Roy served on coaching staffs for more than 10 U.S. international teams, including the 1972 Olympic games in Munich and head manager of the 1980 and 1984 U.S. Olympic track & field teams. He was inducted into the Drake Relays Coaches Hall of Fame in 1993, the University of Minnesota 'M' Club Hall of Fame in 1996 and the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2001. In 1996, Minnesota honored Roy by naming the nation's largest annual cross country meet after him. More important than the championships and accolades is the impact Roy had on everyone in his life. Roy had an amazing ability to make everyone feel important. His smile was contagious and genuine. The ripple effect of his influence will be felt for generations. Roy's spirit lives on in the hearts of those who knew him. Visitation 5-8 PM Tuesday, July 21 at Washburn-McReavy, W. 50th Street & Hwy 100, Edina.

Just like you always said: "Love you and miss you."

Truly one of the nicest guys I have known. We really got to know each other when we were at the U. Many nights with our wives we stayed up into the early hours of the morning at the Hayes’ apartment playing bridge. The game Yogi taught me to play. Later I was fortunate enough to be with Yogi in the waiting room when his first daughter was born. We were together when we saw the child for the first time. We went out to Mtka fishing the day before my wedding. Yogi was a groomsman. Yogi was a fine example of honesty and integrity. I am proud to have had him as a friend. |

She was cool also, the night we got her folk's 1957 green Plymouth in trouble, with the push button transmission "reverse" pushed in, and it would not pop back out. And our days renting a row boat to float around Long Lake, having onion rings for brunch at the Buckhorn. All with Loralee Conradi too. Wonderful mostly innocent fun. Miss you. | |

From margo morris on May 18th, 2011 | |
Eloise and I were in Brownie and Girl Scout Troops 601 with our buddies at Brookside. We had many fun experiences together as friends and as a Troop. We were sprayed by a skunk on an overnight and Mrs. Flagg and my mom Angie, who were our counselors, had to bury our clothes in a field. We caught garter snakes in a mud ditch, brought them to the cabin and scared Mrs. Flag and Angie. Thanks to Eloise we got on the Arle Haberley television show for an interview of our Brownie Troop. I remember her well although I never saw her again after high school. I hope she found happiness in her short life and am truly sorry to hear of her passing. |

I will always remember Eloise's "Sweet 16" Birthday luncheon at a ladies club. I was so new to the school and she was so sweet and welcomed me as a friend. I came from a very small school and was very impressed with this wonderful event! I am saddened by her absence. You will always be remembered. | |

I ran into Judy at my friend's oncologist's office and she told me she was being treated for a brain tumor. I thought to myself, what a shame. She knew than she was on borrowed time. When I knew her in high school she was a very outgoing and athletic person. I'm sure she is missed by many. |

Mary was bright light to everyone she encountered. She was warm, outgoing, independent and had an infectious smile. She never met a stranger and was a treasured friend to all!

In June of 1974, her dreams came true when she welcomed her son, Zack. Her greatest joy in life was being a mom and eventually a devoted grandmother. Mary spent her time living in St Louis Park, her river shack on the Mississippi and in Eagan, MN with her life partner. Mary was an aviation enthusiast who gave a friendly wave to every passing flight (including bald eagles). She was a hay-baler, an artist, fishermen, life-of-the-party, barnstormer, photographer, smoocher, weather reporter, animal nurse, cowgirl, road-tripper and a basket weaver who often used the phrases, uff-da, yummy, howdy and funky! She loved cooking and serving her friends & family like they were her first class passengers. Mary is survived by her cherished love & life partner, Stephen Swazee (Eagan, MN); her beloved son, Zack (Jessi) and “golden boy” grandson, Cruz Rethlake. She is preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Ruby Matzke; brother, Doug and her longtime love, Thomas Ahlers (Calhoun County, IL).

Linda Shank invited me for dinner when we were in the 3rd grade and we were best friends from then on. She lived just a few blocks from me and on Saturdays, I would time myself to see how fast I could race down to her house. We would talk away the hours while I was flopped on her bed and she cleaned her bedroom. We "double dated" in high school. We were in each other's weddings. We remained friends all through the years. I have so many memories...and the older I get, the more they visit me! I remember the years Linda was housebound due to MS. I would flop on her bed again and talk the hours away....just like we did when we were kids. I remember when my son, Collin, died and she listened to my grief for years on end....with the same empathy she had when were kids. And, oh how we could laugh....just like we did when we were kids. To anyone else, it appeared that MS robbed Linda. She did not feel that way. Linda spent most days in prayer....giving thanks for her good life. She had a loving husband,Tom, who cared for her to the end and 2 wonderful daughters she adored...and then a grandbaby boy! She felt nothing but blessed. If you were in Linda's life, she would have prayed for you, too. Those hours in prayer were also for others. She told me that she prayed EVERY day (for years) for my little grandson who has autism. My deepest regret is that I wasn't with Linda before she died in Florida. Even though she would forgive me, I carry it with me. I have dear and good friends in my life, but when something happens, I still want to call Linda.... All I really need to do is go make some good coffee, pour it into the cup she gave me with hand painted "Jo" on it, and tell her all about it, just as I did when we were kids. Jo Mavis |

From Phyllis Swanson (Wise) on June 18th, 2010 | |
I attended college with Linda at Mankato State University. She found the love of her life - Tom Packard - there. He was a fraternity brother of my husband, Tom. We had great times together on (& off!!!) campus and after graduation as well. We watched helplessly as she struggled with MS. She, however, always had a smile for us all. Her husband, Tom, was always by her side & thankfully able to afford her the very best care. We miss you Lindy.... | |

Linda Weiner Morris – In Memorium
Linda Weiner Morris died on March 18, 1998 after a battle with lung cancer. She was a remarkable and talented person whose many skills and gifts were reflected in her varied pursuits. A journalism major at the University of Iowa, Linda was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and edited the the Daily Iowan. She received a M.A. in journalism from the University of Minnesota. From 1981 to 1987 she was Vice Provost of Student Affairs at the University of Cincinnati. During this time she co-authored one of the first books on sexual harassment in academia, The Lecherous Professor. For the past decade her energies went into epr (Educational Publishing Resources), a desktop publishing enterprise that she co-founded. Her work included grant writing, and Linda was very proud of the five million dollar grant she secured from National Science Foundation for M2SE (Minorities in Mathematics, Science, and Engineering).
Linda freely offered her talents to the Hume Society. Most notable was her unstinting and generous work for Hume Studies from the time the Hume Society became its publisher in 1993. First, she completely redesigned the journal all the way from the cover to the typeface. Her eye for professional appearance is reflected in the journal cover with its use of Hume’s bookplate motif. In addition, she worked up the layout for each issue of Hume Studies.
Linda’s gifts as a designer, however, only received their fullest expression in the posters and tee-shirts she made for various Hume conferences. Linda designed the official tee-shirt for the 1990 NEH Summer Institute on Hume and the Enlightenment using the Ramsay portrait of Hume. Her design for the somewhat less official tee-shirt for the "Hummer Summer" depicts Donald Hume, David’s brother, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Bart Simpson. She also designed the cover and worked up the layout for the satirical journal Humania, which unfortunately seems to have fallen still-born from the press. In the poster for the 1991 Taft Colloquium, "Hume in Cincinnati", Linda has Hume wearing a Cincinnati Reds cap and holding their pennant. Her poster for the 1995 conference in Utah has Hume wearing green Ray Bans, as he sits on a mountain overlooking the Mormon Temple.
Linda was a regular at Hume conferences. Whether we were in Rome or Oregon, she would scout out good places to eat, interesting sights to see, and places to shop. She offered comfort to some, practical advice to others, and conviviality to all. Her conversation, as Hume says, was "very satisfactory; as a chearful good-humour'd companion diffuses a joy over the whole company, from a sympathy with her gaiety. These qualities being agreeable, beget love and esteem." Linda’s warmth and love of life were equally contagious and begot love and esteem from all who knew her.

"I recognize what a wonderful and exceptional person Dakie was. I remember her as an extremely vivid, charming and happy young girl from our year together as AFS-students at St. Louis Park High. I lost contact to her, but after about 50 years, thanks to the reunion-committee at SLP, we met again - in Berlin and Minneapolis. Although much had changed, we re-established our old contact and former, happy relations. "

From bill rosso on June 16th, 2011 | |
Steve was a good person and a good friend. He died too soon. Cars and sports were high on his list. After high school he tried college at Beloit, but missed home and returned after his freshman year. He didn't find what he wanted at home either so he joined the Air Force for 4 years and came back with a wife and a son. He went bac kto school and graduated from the U of M and then went to work for his father. We had lunch and breakfast on a regular basis. Steve was the photographer for our family Christmas cards for 20 years. When my father died in 1962 Steve's family sent our family a seven course meal from Jax restaurant in N.E. by cab. All the card said was to the Rosso family from the Ziskin family. We are thinking of you. I had breakfast with him the day before he died. I think of him often. I miss him. Bill Rosso |
