Sue Baumbach -- Class of '64 laureate?
In 1960, ninth-grader Sue Baumbach wrote this poem for the Alexandria Junior High newspaper, The Cardette. (Remember her --- her family owned Baumbach Drug.) She was no Paul Strandberg, of course, but Susan Baumbach Vass did grow up to be a famous author and a comedienne.
From her web site:
Susan has helped audiences “laugh their way to good health” in over 2,000 appearances from coast to coast.
With her roots in stand-up comedy, Susan has opened for such national acts as Robert Goulet, Andy Williams, Lee Greenwood, The Smothers Brothers, Doc Severinsen, Jay Leno, and Joan Rivers.
She is a veteran of countless television and radio appearances, including Rosie O’Donnell’s “Standup Spotlight”, PBS’s comedy special about Minnesota comics, “Land O’Loons”, and National Public Radio’s “Prairie Home Companion” with fellow-Minnesotan Garrison Keillor.
She is the author of a best-selling humor book, “Laughing Your Way to Good Health”.
Famous for her squeaky-clean, corporate-appropriate comedy shows, she has literally entertained car salesmen at breakfast and nuns the same night!
