Terry Ahlstrom lives in Richfield,MN a first ring suburb of Minneapolis.He is a Realtor by trade,but has always had a huge interest in the history and the past of his hometown Richfield. He has always believed that people have stories to tell and that they want to tell them.You just need to ask and then listen. Something you will hear him say often is "Ask a lot of questions while people are here because the answers to those questions often go away when they are gone" So if you asked what the purpose of the book he compiled or what his mission is he would tell you that it's the preservation of memories of times passed and educating through memories what it was like to grow up in or be a part of Richfield...Minnesota's oldest suburb.
