THE RE-ECHO

The Re-Echo newsletter is published quarterly by the St. Louis Park Historical Society.  It was established and edited by Bob Reiss, who published it from 2002 until his untimely death in August 2006. Its purpose is to acquaint the members, volunteers and friends on how the activities, programs, and resources of the Society are used to preserve the history of St. Louis Park. The name was inspired by the Echo newspaper published by and for the students of the St. Louis Park High School since 1916. 

The following is a list of issues and articles that link to those articles. Please keep in mind that situations may have changed since the publication of the newsletter.  Up to date information can be found by consulting the website Index.
