“Dakota (4th grade) and Joy (her mom!) are on MEA break, relaxing at home, and wanted to say ‘thank you’ to MPR — our favorite morning ritual!”

~ Joy & Dakota, Golden Valley

“Welcome home and happy belated birthday to Robert Olson of St. Paul! A talented, caring, tender-hearted, thoughtful, hard-working, delightful goofball, grilling the tenderest chicken on the block, I’m looking forward to celebrating in person, ya big proud Swede! You add so much to the world and to my life, I’m glad you’re here!”

~ Annie Hall, Minneapolis

“Char O’Connor of Spring Valley is celebrating her 81st birthday today! Unless she is out walking her new puppy, Sparky, we know she is listening to Morning Edition because she is a bit of a news-groupie and she always listens to MPR. Happy birthday, Charlotte, from your family & friends!”

~ Linda Abbott-Roe, Rochester
