ON THE COVER: Stephanie Judd Irwin
readied her camera before dawn and
ventured out to capture a shot of Barbro G
before the vessel entered Duluth's inner
harbor on April 1, 2024. Bivouacked first in
Canal Park, she realized it was going to be
"one of those 'wow' sunrises," so she shifted
quickly to Park Point and snapped this wow
image that graces our Spring 2024 cover.
