and

Congressman Don Fraser 
(DFL Member of Congress 1963-1979 and Minneapolis Mayor 1980-1994)

Governor Quie and Congressman Fraser are leaders who played transformational roles in their time. How was their influence felt by those who followed and what can we learn from their leadership? Those who were mentored and inspired by these men will tell us how their legacies last even today and how they are working to inspire this same contagious civic leadership with future generations serving Minnesota. These two uncommon men share a common passion for Minnesota, the nation, and a better world.
