## Caption

St. Paul, its residents like to say, is a big small town. It's got a long memory too. Ask Connie Maertz Kasella, who grew up there.

Just after Christmas, only months after returning to St. Paul from Oregon, Maertz Kasella received numerous messages on her phone and social media from grade-school friends. Somebody had posted on the Old St. Paul, Minnesota, page on Facebook about an old sled with Tom Maertz's name on it. Wasn't he Connie's brother? they asked.

He sure is, Maertz Kasella said.
