Northland graduate Steven Reynolds talks about his college days at Northland with Ron West on Pioneer 90.1, and about his long-standing communication venture known as “The Raven.”
Published four times a year – with a circulation that reaches coast to coast – “The Raven” journal features local/regional artists and events, plus stories of early northwest Minnesota settlers and pioneers, passed on from generation to generation.
