The Purple Line, formerly the Rush Line, would run from St. Paul to White Bear Lake, and would service 21 local stations. Despite growing opposition to the $475 million project, it’s unclear if it will be enough to stop the development.
Rose Bayuk, Army nurse and nursing home director, dies at 105 February 3, 2021 8:34pm Text size Copy shortlink:
Rose Bayuk was a feisty 5-footer who, at 104, still hosted near-weekly dinner parties for her large circle of family and friends.
The former Army nurse was a natural leader with a take-charge personality. And she served others all her life, taking on volunteer positions well into her 90s. Even into her early 100s, people were still asking Rose to lead things, explained her son, Mark Bayuk, who moved into his mother s White Bear Lake home to assist her just a few years ago.
Bayuk s pep was legendary the source of a family joke about her having once received a transfusion of rabbit blood. In her 100s, Bayuk began working out at the local Y, where she amassed a new set of (younger) friends.
