"Rum" Update

There is some more update news about the progress of my movement to change the name of the Rum River that I would like to share with the readers of the Mille Lacs Messenger.

I have been corresponding with Bill Carlson, the director of Isanti County Active Living By Design and a prominent member of the committee that named the two-mile nature area in Cambridge - Spirit River Nature Area. Mr. Carlson recently informed me that the city of Cambridge is changing a street name along the river to Spirit River Drive and a developer is calling his local development Spirit River.
