MARILYN HAGERTY: Dakota Queen Captain moves on from Red River to Gulf PressPass

MARILYN HAGERTY: Dakota Queen Captain moves on from Red River to Gulf For 11 years — between 1985 and 1996 — the double deck Dakota Queen carried passengers on cruises south along the Red River from its dock downtown in Grand Forks. We talked about that when we went on a cruise with the former Dakota Queen Captain Paul Lester and his wife, Renae, in Florida on Leap Year’s Day. These days, the Lesters are retired. They divide their time between their home in Grand Forks and Bonita Springs, Fla. Their present boat is a 32-foot Tiara they call “Magic Carpet.”

VIRG FOSS: Unexpected gift keeps the 'Lipstick Bandit' reminiscent PressPass

VIRG FOSS: Unexpected gift keeps the 'Lipstick Bandit' reminiscent I had put the story of my “Lipstick Bandit” days behind me, I thought. The story of my defacing the walls at Manvel High School 57 years ago with lipstick after our South Junior High basketball team beat Manvel turned out to be more than a simple story and an overdue confession.
