My sympathies to the Adolphson family. We were backyard neighbors in Mankato. As a young girl, I took piano lessons from John. I also attended college at Gustavus- a choice made in large part due to the high regard Karl and the family showed for liberal arts education. I am so grateful for that influence. May fond memories be your comfort now.
