I wrote a Dateline Minneapolis column in September, asking readers for input on famous and influential Minneapolis high school graduates.For weeks, suggestions came in via mail, both electronic and snail.

This weekend, I stumbled across a Tumblr that linked to the column with Washburn High School yearbook photos of National Public Radio Journalist Michele Norris and rapper Slug of the group Atmosphere.

Here's a link to the Tumblr site and the Hennepin County Library's Minneapolis High School Yearbook Collection site.

Norris, a 1979 graduate, was captain of the cheerleading squad and on the Spirit Committee at Washburn. She is also the author of "The Grace of Silence" the 2011 "One Minneapolis, One Read" book.

Slug aka Sean Daley was a student gym aide and member of the Cultural Development Leadership Group. He graduated in 1990.

In the coming days, I'll publish several responses to the September column.
