Stories from the Rez. At the Merging Waters/Pilgrim House Coffee House events, Pilgrim House member Mel Aanerud told one story about his time on the Rez. It was so well received; he was encouraged to do more. He only had the one, but with that encouragement, he remembered and wrote more stories of people and events from his time he managed their electronic plant at the Mille Lacs Indian Reservation in the 1970″s. He will do three stories today: 1) Sister Gertrude 2) Georgiana Day and 3) George Goodwin.
