I spent the last week with one of my best friends who I grew up with here in Dodge County. He’s lived in Arizona now for over 20 years and is one of my oldest and dearest friends, friends for over 40 years.

“I love to tell stories,” local author Terry Eckstein said. His mind is full of plots that twist and turn in and around Mantorville and he’s anxious to get them written down. He has a “day” job that pays the bills with remote staff under his employ but Eckstein yearns for the day when he can leave this business behind and the typing of tales becomes his full-time job.

Dear Susan,

In its opening game of the season, the matchup between the Kasson-Mantorville/Triton KoMeTs boys soccer team and the Faribault Falcons ended in a 0-0 tie last Thursday.
A rule change last year ended overtime for high school regular season games.
One highlight Head Coach Shawn Bromelkamp pointed to was KoMeT keeper Riley Mitchell who he said “played a great game, with seven saves to go along with the shutout.”

In 1965 Kasson celebrated the 100th anniversary of the founding of the city. Cyrus McCormick sold reapers and the company was known as McCormick Harvesting Machine Company. In 1902 two harvesting companies merged to form the International Harvester Company. Brewer Implement was the oldest McCormick dealer in Kasson starting in 1868 with three Brewer family generations operating the implement business.
