“Congratulations to editor extraordinaire, Ann Regan, longtime editor in chief for the Minnesota Historical Society Press. Thank you for helping so many authors craft and publish books that celebrate the diversity of people, places, and history of Minnesota and Upper Midwest. What a delight to be able to work and learn from you. You rock! (Now don’t tear up!) Love, Alison [tear up as in don't cry, not as in torn/rip!]“

~ Alison, Minneapolis
