Re: [mnbuckets] Shallhas

I’m sure you remember Kurt Shellhas of those famous Edina buckets teams. No, he didn’t die, but his mother did. The obit ran earlier this week. She was 80 and apparently had a heck of a life. She was born in Winona and during WWII she was employed by the military deciphering coded Japanese messages. She came back, got a college degree and taught for a while. Her address was listed as Nisswa and formerly of Edina. Her husband and Kurt’s father is still living. Kurt is married but of course it didn’t say anything more about him, but there were several other kids in the family too.

I bump into Jay Kiedrouski now and again—don’t really know him personally, I see him mainly when he is making a speech about the Minnesota state budget—and one time I mentioned his high school buckets career, and he just says how lucky he was. (Oh really! Of course you gotta be good to be lucky.) He, by the way, is to the best of my knowledge a member of the only three-generations-all-state-boys-basketball-tournament family. Jay, not Kurt.
