The past year remembered

1984 will always be remembered as the year when Moose Lake and the surrounding communities came together for the support of the Moose Lake State Hospital. When the Department of Public Welfare reorganization plan was first publicly published in the first week of January, the public outcry was such that it eventually led o the January 7 meeting at the state hosital auditorium that had over 1,000 concerned people overflow the meeting.

News about the state hospital not only dominated the news print in January but during the remainder of 1984. The state hospital system and all that surrounded the issue in `984 by and away makes it the biggest story of 1984. The state hospital and its future will no doube also be one of he biggest stories for the year 1985.
