What they couldn't sense, they shared as each other's confidant. They developed their own language to communicate with each other and drive their siblings daffy. When they moved to Warroad, Minn., before their sophomore year, they were especially close. Then they went their separate ways to college, Kari to St. Cloud State and the misguided Mike to North Dakota State. That first birthday was especially hard.
Birthdays are still hard.
Mike now lives in Velva, N.D., and Kari lives in Argyle, Minn., with the Mike-approved Ryan. Mike has no plans to be married soon. Back to Top 2001 Grand Forks Herald. All rights reserved.
