Three fallen soldiers will get special honors thanks to the efforts of a few local veterans.One of those is Richard Henry Krumm, a Blue Earth soldier killed in Vietnam on May 16, 1967. He was killed near the DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) along with three others. Krumm had joined the Marines shortly after his graduation from the [College of] St. Thomas. He told his friends and family that he joined the Marines because 'they did the real work' in the war. He signed on in March of 1966, and friends say that although he did become disillusioned with the war, he served honorably, and was awarded the Purple Heart. Krumm was a wrestler at Blue Earth High School, and his father has kept up a wrestling award in his name to this day." https://www.faribaultcountyregister.com/page/content.detail/id/501084/Two-Civil-War-veterans-to-be-honored-at-Blue-Earth-cemetery.html?nav=5001

  • "Leading a cultural revolution," Star Tribune, June 8, 2009. " The expert says: Lorman Lundsten, chair of the marketing department at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business, said Ressler and Thompson would do well to follow through on their idea of a brand overhaul. 'A brand is the label, the name of the product, so the brand in and of itself doesn't have any value at all unless it captures something about the product and crystalizes what people think about it,' Lundsten said. 'A classic example is Sears Diehard, which captures so much of what that battery does to make your car start.' That's the kind of value Thompson and Ressler need to aim for with their brand, and the challenge will be achieving that with CultureRx and the ROWE acronym, Lundsten said." https://www.startribune.com/business/46964762.html
