It feels good to be back, here in print, at 22,000 households across Winona, Trempealeau, and Buffalo counties. We made the difficult decision to cancel last week’s print edition of the Winona Post after two of our production staff tested positive for COVID. I’m grateful they’re doing alright and recovering at home per health department guidelines, that the rest of our staff is healthy, and, despite being a bit shorthanded, our dedicated crew worked overtime to get this edition safely to you. We want to thank all of you for your well wishes and for bearing with us.

Texas Raiders, Kevin “K5” Michels recently submitted another excellent article that detailed the history behind the famous one-wheel pass performed by
Texas Raiders at air shows across the country.
Donning his distinctive flat-brim straw hat, an otherwise non-descript elderly man would leave his home for a daily 5-mile walk, telling his beloved wife that he was “going out to chase girls”. He would return four hours later. Not because he was slow, but because the gregarious extrovert socialized with literally everyone along the way. Known to all as “the Colonel”, he was a pillar of society in this seaside community of San Clemente, California.
