    Your desk is an absolute mess.
    Are all men that way?
    You and my husband could compete in messy desks, and messy kitchen tables.
    Not sure which one of you wuld win that contest.

  • Victoria

    What a lovely mess. It shows what a real human being you are, your just like any of us.

    • Jackie D

      Messes aren’t lovely but yes, it does show you were always busy saving during working. Show how active your mind is.
      From your reports on TV gave us all a good idea on how human you really are.

  • BSDECT

    You should donate some of them cookies to a shelter.

  • The Curley’s

    Enjoy your retirement !
    We will miss you !

  • Charlie Vaughn

    Who on earth should care about this person’s desk? He’s a local news anchor. Get over it.

  • jackie d

    No one is worried about the messy desk. Try taking a walk.

  • Sandy Schmid

    Don,
    Now that you are retired, you should actually come and visit Bemidji State (BSU). You could even attend a hockey game at the new BREC Center, aka Sanford Center…or as my friends and I call it SHREC….Sanford Health Regional Evenct Center.

    Sandy Schmid

  • Barbara

    I love it! I love all the comments…you are a hoot! I bet Amelia is going to miss you terribly. I have always loved watching you on the news and live at the MN State Fair. I am friends with Gretchen Carlson (news anchor on Fox N Friends, from Anoka)…I appreciate all you have done!

  • Bev Swanson

    Our local celebrity. Your desk looks a bit like mine. Have fun in your retirement – you deserve it!

  • Joyce & Dave Mickelson

    The Eagles are back at Lake Macaughney for their January-March gathering and you would love it…Old white haired gentlemen of the sky and lovely brash
    youngster. from the Sand Hills of Nebraska-
