Hotspotter Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Cranker: Phenomenal news! Appledorn's is setting itself up to be the premier resort on Mille Lacs with all the positive going's-on. The staff isn't so bad either I've known Paul for several years now, and am proud to be included as a fellow director and friend. Paul's expertise in the hospitatility business, paired with his excellent work-ethic will provide a cornerstone in leadership for the resort. Did I mention he fishes? Paul is a consummate walleye angler with a knowledge of the species I could only hope to achieve. Oh, and he's not so bad at muskies, smallmouth, and perch considering my last outing on Mille Lacs with him! I know his passion for fishing will help to make Appledorn's not just a great place to stay, but a wonderful place to fish out of as well.
