Thank you Teachers! Brainerd High School Teachers Andre and Marilyn LaMourea

School has just begin or will start next week in northern Minnesota and John Bauer and I took the time to thank some of the teachers that meant the most to us.  We had a chance to talk with the husband-wife duo from Brainerd that had a huge impact on my growing up there - Andre and Marilyn LaMourea.  They were mentioned in the Brainerd paper for retiring 20 years ago... Andre wrote to the paper thanking them for the notice - and put their phone number in the article, stating how much they have enjoyed reconnecting with their students.  They now live in Duluth and Arizona and we got a chance to talk with them about their unique classes taught at Brainerd Senior High School.
