What an issue we’re delivering to you today. And what fun it has been to put it together, given the number of stories that cover fascinating and important new developments in our region. Start with the cover story about the growth and success of Digi-Key Electronics in Thief River Falls, Minn. For weeks I’ve been checking the Wall Street Journal’s website, because I’m convinced the Digi-Key story is of national interest, and I expect to find it on the Journal’s front page sometime soon.
