Denfeld’s 1947 boys basketball team is the only Denfeld basketball team to win a state title. The team’s head coach was Lloyd Holm. Team members were Rudy Monson, Larry Tessier, Paul Nace, Kenneth Sunnarborg, Eugene Norlander, Howard Tucker, Tony Skull, Jerry Walczak, Bruce Budge, Keith Stolen and student manager Bob Scott.

I would like to offer a suggestion that the Duluth city flag have some yellow or a sun or something hygge, especially to represent the indentured population of Duluth who come up here for a great deal of hope and to make better lives for themselves and their families ("A better banner: Duluth seeks new city flag design, but selection process raises concern," March 2).

In fact, were I an urban planner, I would make it my utter focus to ensure that the transitory and indigent populations of Duluth - including the prison populations, the parole populations, the homeless, the mentally ill populations, the chemically dependent populations, the developmentally disabled populations, and maybe even the police department - be taken care of versus a class division that doesn't exactly lend itself to human dignity, altruism, or community survival.
