Our Program on August 30th was a personal profile presented by Steve Frazier.

Steve was born and raised in North Minneapolis. His family had a series of problems, and Steve was raised by a foster family from very early in grade school. He had a lot of problems with school work, but loved music and athletics. He was awarded letters in 4 sports in high school. After graduating from Patrick Henry High School, he went to St Cloud for college. While there, he met Karen. He said it was love at first sight. They married, and Steve completed college.

He interviewed for a position at the Minnetonka School District, and was offered a teaching job. After a lifetime of teaching and counseling kids in the district, Steve retired and he and Karen own Excelsior Florist.

There's much more to the story, however, They have three children, Todd, Trent, (both heavily into computers as their profession) and Tiffany who is a fitness trainer. They live in Shorewood and have a lake place near Aitkin that they love to escape to frequently. Steve is an active member of many groups and organizations, and I mean very active. He was mayor of Shorewood for 8 years, active in the teachers' union and professional groups, a leader at his church in Excelsior, a lifelong choir member in his church, president and a strong leader in his lake association near Aitkin. He has been an active worker and leader in our club during his membership.
