Jim, Julie and all, I'm so saddened to hear of Dean's passing. She was always so lively and fun. Bob and Dean were so good to me and my colleagues in the Mini-School program at Minnetonka High School. They were strong supporters of this program that helped so many at-risk teens. Rest in peace, Deanie.
