Most Minnesotans have never heard of Roger Swanson. But among voyagers around the globe, he’s known as the man who circled the world not once — but three times — on a 57-foot sailboat whose home port is listed as “Dunnell, MN.”
His travels carried him from the tip of South Africa to the Arctic, winning international honors along the way. He also happened to launch a half-dozen manufacturing businesses in rural Minnesota, overseeing production of everything from snowblowers to farm equipment.
Swanson is being remembered this week as an extraordinary adventurer who lived an otherwise ordinary life in southwestern Minnesota.
“Roger Swanson was one of the greatest long-distance voyagers of this era or any other era,” said Herb McCormick, senior editor of Cruising World magazine. “Few sailors have gone from the Arctic to the Antarctic and everywhere in between. He was one of a kind.” He died December 25th 2012. R.I.P. Roger Swanson.

Naked Lunch is considered Burroughs’ seminal work, and one of the landmark publications in the history of American literature. Extremely controversial in both its subject matter and its use of obscene language (something Burroughs recognized and intended), the book was banned in Boston and Los Angeles in the United States, and several European publishers were harassed. It was one of the most recent American books over which an obscenity trial was held. The book was banned in Boston in 1962 due to obscenity (notably child murder and acts of pedophilia), but that decision was reversed in 1966 by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. The Appeals Court found the book did not violate obscenity statutes, as it was found to have some social value. The hearing included testimony in support of the work by Allen Ginsberg and Norman Mailer.

…growing up in southern california near the san andreas fault in el centro, it was inevitable that i would eventually experience a major earthquake event…
it happened one hot day…the shaking started and i rushed outside onto the front lawn…sprawled on my belly i witnessed the entire event…
as i looked down the street i saw waves of movement in the lawns, the street, and the sidewalks that resembled the waves on the ocean…i was on the ocean…
the cars parked on the street shook back and forth on their parking brakes…the trees all trembled in place…my body swayed on the waves of earth as the ground roiled and rumbled…
i was on the sea of uncertainty…the fate of time…it’s an earth-quake!

Charles Bernard “Charlie” Rangel (born June 11, 1930) is the U.S. Representative for New York’s 15th congressional district, serving since 1971. He is a member of the Democratic Party. As the most senior member, he is the Dean of New York’s congressional delegation. In January 2007, Rangel became Chair of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, the first African-American to do so. He is also a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Rangel enlisted in the United States Army, and served from 1948 to 1952. During the Korean War, he was a member of the all-black 503rd Field Artillery Battalion in the 2nd Infantry Division.
In late November 1950, this unit was caught up in heavy fighting in North Korea as part of the U.N. forces retreat from the Yalu River. In the Battle of Kunu-ri, Rangel was part of a vehicle column that was trapped and attacked by the Chinese Army. In the subzero cold, Rangel was injured by shrapnel from a Chinese shell. Some U.S. soldiers were being taken prisoner, but others looked to Rangel, who though only a private first class had a reputation for leadership in the unit. Rangel led some 40 men from his unit, during three days of freezing weather, out of the Chinese encirclement. Nearly half of the battalion was killed in the overall battle.
Rangel was awarded a Purple Heart for his wounds and the Bronze Star with Valor for his actions in the face of death. His Army unit was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation, the Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation, and three battle stars. In 2000, Rangel reflected with CBS News that
“Since Kunu Ri â and I mean it with all my heart, I have never, never had a bad day.”
Rangel later viewed his time in the Army, away from the poverty of his youth, as a major turning point in his life: “When I was exposed to a different life, even if that life was just the Army, I knew damn well I couldn’t get back to the same life I had left.” After an honorable discharge from the Army with the rank of staff sergeant, he returned home to headlines in The New York Amsterdam News.
Rangel finished high school, completing two years of studies in one year and graduating in 1953. Rangel then received a Bachelor of Science degree from the New York University School of Commerce in 1957, where he made the dean’s list. Then, on full scholarship, he obtained his law degree from the St. John’s University School of Law in 1960.
Rangel is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African-Americans. He is also a member of the fraternity’s World Policy Council, a think tank whose purpose is to expand Alpha Phi Alpha’s involvement in politics and social and current policy to encompass international concerns.
