12 Jul 2020Chuck and Millie Sullivan have been friends of ours since 1965 when son Chuck II was a key member of the inaugural ice hockey team at Gen. William Mitchell HS. The team was melded together from a group of boys that had almost no previous experience playing ice hockey. In two years, they became the best team to represent Mitchell in school history. Chuck and Millie were instrumental in making this possible by helping in every way including having the team up to their cabin on Carroll Lakes to improve skating and stick handling and building team loyalty.
Chuck and Millie represent the best of what America has to offer – the chance to build a meaningful life if one is honest and willing to work hard. We are forever thankful for the positive impact they have had on our lives.
