YOUR 15 MINUTES OF FAME

From the March 2007 Re-Echo

In the days ahead, the Historical Society will be conducting a series of interviews of people who have roots in St. Louis Park. This is an important project, in that we hope to record the experiences of people who have lived and/or worked in the Park for a long time.
 

This project is headed up by Bob Jorvig, Trustee on the Historical Society board. Bob has deep roots in St. Louis Park himself – among other things, Jorvig Park is named after his father. Giving us invaluable assistance is John McHugh, the Community TV Coordinator for the City of St. Louis Park. The goal is to conduct an interview and produce a video, complete with pictures, that can be kept by the Society and shown on SLP cable stations. We can’t say enough about John’s commitment to this effort.

If you are interested in participating, you are encouraged to call Bob at 952-938-6553. Many people don’t think that they have anything interesting to contribute, but we find that everybody has something to share. With so many changes in the Park, it is important that we learn from you the way the City used to be. And if you know someone who would be interested in being interviewed, please call Bob Jorvig.
