"Good Bye and Good Luck Larry"

Larry Lundblad, a dear friend with a big heart, a wonderful leader as well as a team player will be sorely missed as he leaves to be President of Central Lakes College in Branerd MN.

Larry has served as vice president and chief academic officer at South Central College in North Mankato and Faribault since 1993.

A Diversity Coalition Board Member for the last 6 years, Larry has done it all from moderator at several forums, planning forums, bringing in several speakers. Leading us with his expertise, coming out in Dec. & Jan, in 15 below temperatures to help build the Cannon River Mobile Home Park Bus shelter and so much more.

Larry has led us with his smiles and calm demeanor. What really showed up most in the six years of his leadership and friendship is his caring for all people, he will be a wonderful president at Central Lakes College.

Thank you Larry from all of us in the Diversity Coalition, and everyone in Faribault that you have touched.

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
