The speach of 1968 announcing his Presidential
run is one that's sorely need it today. Thank you.

"That ticket went down in flames", it certainly did. I saw Tiny Tim in concert, he was actually very good. Great stuff, thanks Jeff.

[mikewhiteaadvocacy]

Their so many famous people buried there, thank you for all of the work you put into your videos

You seem to find the most interesting people to highlight in your cemetery visits. Tiny Tim always had a very creepy vibe when I was a kid, he still does.

I remember when Tiny Tim got married on the Johnny Carson show.

My dad really liked Hubert Humphrey and wanted him to become president. Great video as usual, I always learn something from you.

[philipcollins]

Every week I look forward to seeing your videos. I'm never disappointed.

I loved every second of this video! The great Hubert Humphrey, Rudy Perpich who came from the Iron Range, the Dayton family who also produced a governor, Mark Dayton, and the honorable Paul Wellstone. It still makes me sad to think how his life was so tragically cut short. He truly represented the working man. Senator Wellstone started out as a professor at Carlton College. I also wrote a letter to Wendell Anderson for a class project in 6th grade. I think I still have it. Lakewood is a beautiful cemetery. I agree, I love learning about people who shaped our communities and not just celebrities. I’ve really enjoyed all your videos from Minnesota. Great job!

WOW, that's quite a mixture of graves, all in one cemetery. That was very interesting, and entertaining Jeff. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Growing up in Minnesota the first governor i remember was Wendell Anderson, he would do a state of the state speech fairly often. My first automotive job was in south Minneapolis as an oil change tech. One day the customer pulled his car in and sat down and was reading the newspaper while glancing at me from time to time and smiling. When I finished the oil change and he paid at the counter, i was helping guide him out of the building and he waived and i finally recognized him and turned to my boss and started to say and my boss said yeah that was" Fritz"Walter Mondale. I was at that cemetery years ago with a group of people and didn't get to tour it like i wanted to. Thanks for the tour. There is a memorial of the plane crash site of Paul Wellstone and his family at the crash site near Eveleth. Thanks again for sharing this video with us.😊

Lakewood is a beautiful cemetery at least I remember it that way as a kid in the 70’s. I have a couple relatives buried there and had relatives from both sides of my parents family's that lived within walking distance of there. Almost every year as a kid I left the SF Bay Area for the Twin Cities where I was born and all my relatives on both sides of my parents families lived. Spent many a 4th of July around the lakes in that area (Cedar, Lake of the Isles, Calhoun and Harriet) swimming, bike riding, watching the fireworks.

Another great episode, Jeff. Good to see Sarah, too! How serendipitous. Just last night I was watching a Dean Martin Celebrity Roast of Hubert Humphrey and the inimitable faux drunk Foster Brooks hilariously lampooned him as 'Hubey The Boobie' :)

[movngforward]

Very loving, the way you honor our dead. Such reverence and fairness. You far surpass the others.

Sarah is rockin' that hair, I love it!! Seems the MN trip proved to be like a shot in the arm; the family elixir. ❤

[dmzabo]
