THUMBS UP: The New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce and Jensen Motors have done it again, selecting an extremely deserving recipient for their annual Athena Award. Christine Carmichael is the recipient this year. She is a talented interior designer, an avid proponent of historic preservation, and a person dedicated to using her talents for the good of the community. We hope many people will turn out on May 1 at the Holiday Inn for the luncheon where she will be officially honored.

My sister, Christine L. Carmichael, was a mentor and a luminary. She was a remarkable interior designer whose compassion for the preservation of life infused each person and project on which she participated.
