Mean Jean Okerland passed away today. Native of Sisseton, SD. Not much to see in Sisseton, but it's a fun FYI for the many that will travel past in the next couple of days.

One would think as an owner samples would be a given.

Loretta Lynn Buffet in Hurricane Mills, TN, has a giant Bison statue out front!

The Federal Reserve in Kansas City is also an interesting tour as well.
The WW1 museum is terrific. You'll want to set aside at least a half day or more for it. You'll be near Union station which also has some great exhibits.

Did not know he was from the area. Was he living in the SD/ND/MN area? Just curious.

I remember his son Todd Okerlund (former gopher hockey player) played prep hockey at Burnsville (MN) High School.

He died in Sarasota Florida.

Small correction, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is not a part of the US Mint, though they are both part of the Department of the Treasury.
