Sunday, September 28, 2008
Tom Hus, husband of Classmate Lorraine (Mysliwiec) Hus informs us that Lorraine was featured in the July 2009 issue of MS Minnesota Chapter newsletter. She received an award as one of the U.S. Bank's top employee volunteers. So far Lorriane and Tom have ridden 15 years in the MS150 on their tandem bicycle (roughly 150 miles from Duluth to the Twin Cities in 1 weekend).
Thanks to Tom for sharing the proud news and congrats to both Lorraine and Tom for all they do for MS and other charities. If you’d like to contact Lorraine or send along good wishes, the Hus’ may be reached at minn4cubs@msn.com.
