Last week, five of the six past mayors of St Paul gathered to celebrate 75th anniversary of city's community foundation, and put aside politics to talk philanthropy.
"Five of the six men who led St. Paul over the past four decades got together Friday for a bit of banter and some serious talk about the role philanthropy can play in building the city. Mayor Chris Coleman was joined by predecessors Larry Cohen, George Latimer, Jim Scheibel and Norm Coleman at a breakfast forum in downtown St. Paul to kick off the 75th anniversary of the St. Paul Foundation, started by business leaders in 1940 to boost the city’s living standards." -- Kevin Duchschere, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune
