South Dakota is a special place. We all know that. It’s where we choose to live, work and raise our kids. It’s where we call home and are surrounded by the people we love, our family.
Last week, I was out in the Black Hills visiting with folks. On my way home to Fort Pierre on Highway 14, I stopped in Philip, as I often do, to grab coffee and see a few familiar faces.
Near the end of our visit, I was stopped by a lady who asked, “You’re that Rounds guy, aren’t ya?” I said, “Yes, I’m Mike.”
She told me her name was Lynn and she was from Cavour, a small town outside of Huron.
Lynn said her uncle was the late state Representative Bob Glanzer.
Bob was my brother Tim’s seatmate in the South Dakota legislature until Bob’s tragic death earlier this year. He was an honorable man and his perspective will be missed in the state legislature.
Lynn told me she often enjoys getting together with my cousins while camping so she figured she would stop and say ‘hello.’
