chandler minnesota

I lived in Chandler Minn in 1958-59 i know it has changed greatly,very curious what it looks like now?

It was wiped out by a tornado a few years back and all that remained from the old town was the bank.

I lived in Chandler until 1970 and just visited there last week. Although it did have a bad tornado, there was much more left standing than the bank. The rest has been rebuilt. The exciting new thing around town is the "Fenton Project," a major wind-energy project. There are more than 100 commercial windmills that will supply over 66,000 homes with power (in Minneapolis primarily). This has also brought some prosperity to the farmers/land owners. Chandler actually looks very much like it always did, minus a Airforce base.

Sandi!!! Who always sat behind in school!!

What were the high School Mascots for Lake Wilson High and Chandler High?

Sandra, I remember you, and Brian (B)?. I'll bet that's how your last name begins, yup. I remember you too. I moved from Colorado Springs to Chandler in about '67 and left there in '71. I believe you two must have been in the class of '70 or maybe '69. Those were some interesting years. I rarely get back down there but it seems to be a much cleaner and more civilized area now. They even paved the valley road. Of course we only lived for Saturday nights at the Hollyhock, other diversions, and eventually escaping to greener pastures. I have no idea how I bumped into this site but might just have to stop back again.

Back when I left school in 1980 it was the Chandle-Lake Wilson Mustangs and the girls teams went by the Pintos.

Jerry.. If you remmber the Hollyhock in Hatfield, (Now long gone,) then you must remmber using Wintergreen from South Dakot...........a
