  • “Following Paul’s Footsteps,” The Catholic Spirit, April 27, 2006. “For 23 days in January, The Catholic Spirit intern reporter Maria Wiering traveled to the Mediterranean for a class on early Christianity.

  • “Letters,” St. Paul Pioneer Press, May 12, 2006. Alumnus Ed Viehman writes, “When I arrived at the College of St. Thomas from my small town as a freshman, many of my classmates were De La Salle alumni. We played on the Cretin Avenue intramural football fields that featured pieces of concrete and rebar from the WWII Quonset hut barracks that would occasionally scratch someone when they landed from a not-so-gentle game of two-hand touch football. The kids from De thought nothing of it because their high school field had broken beer bottles and syringes on their landing surface. Forty years later these same DHS kids and alumni want a football field, and it is being fought by a ‘drive-by’ NPR personality and his NIMBY pals, who think their rights top kids' rights. I think not.” https://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/news/editorial/letters/14557264.htm
