Historical Reflections








George Nelson Jr., left, of Lutsen Resort and Paul Larson, manager of the local telephone company, try out the new switchboard after its Jan. 28, 1960 installation at Lutsen Resort. The new system allowed all guests at the resort to have telephone service, and also enabled employees to have complete telephone service for the entire operation from the ski chalet to the resort. Lutsen Resort was the first resort in this area to have this type of service.
