I also decided to start my own blog to put down my ruminations on war, drink and the Church. Check it out and let's stay in touch! Love to Joycelyn and the kids! We think of you often.JohnMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15370724774633036797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5352536197106136774.post-90325702248406519542008-01-09T14:26:00.000-06:002008-01-09T14:26:00.000-06:00Sean,I hear ya.

A great place, St. Paul — my mom grew up in Frogtown and Como Park, and some extended family still live in a few St. Paul suburbs.<BR/><BR/>Interestisngly enough — and given your interest in brewing, you'll definitely appreciate this — one of my great-great-great-great (too many greats? not enough?) grandfathers (on my dad's side) was Christopher Stahlman, who opened the Stahlman Cave Brewery on Fort Rd. (West 7th) and Oneida in 1855.<BR/><BR/>There's more about the brewery <A HREF="http://www.rchs.com/Ask%20The%20Historian/ask_the_historianarchive.htm" REL="nofollow">here</A> (you'll have to scroll down about 2/3 of the way down (or, better yet, just do a search and find for "stahlman"); I can't figure out how to link directly to the Q & A about the Stahlman Brewery.John Jansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241558776415884637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5352536197106136774.post-54369309287499630712008-01-08T23:32:00.000-06:002008-01-08T23:32:00.000-06:00Your Minnesota connection is very cool, John, as i...Your Minnesota connection is very cool, John, as is the fact taht you know John, who I have not yet met. <BR/><BR/>You would not believe how constantly homesick I am for Minnesota. Besides going to college at St. John's in the 80s, my family lived in Duluth for four years in the 70s and I lived in St. Paul for three years between college and enlisting in the Marines. Each Chesterton conference in St. Paul is for me tinged with sadness because going to them reminds me how much I miss living there.chestertonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18182959509678265514noreply@blogger.com
