Kaleen Anderson Hilsenhoff moves back to Alex

  • Kaleen Anderson Hilsenhoff dropped a note Friday night and included a newsy excerpt from her Christmas Letter.
  • September found me moving back to Alexandria after a summer of searching for a townhouse. It is great to be back in the area where I grew up. A warmer climate would have been nice, but with the natural disasters (hurricanes/floods/wild fires) and unknown creatures (bugs/snakes), decided that familiar territory sounded good. The Alexandria area has changed (understatement) in the 40 years since my high school graduation but I am not totally starting over as I have done so many times over the years. My best friends from high school are back in Alex also. Another bonus is that I have an aunt living in Alex and many second cousins.
  • My Mom recently went to live in a nursing home in Watertown, Minn. It is a relief for my brother (Jay Anderson '67), sister (Lyn Anderson Prins '70) & I to know she is in a safe place. It had become obvious that she needed additional care with her progressing Congestive Heart Failure.
