14. My husband had a conversation with Tim in 2005 about considerating retiring from the MN ANG.

As he had filed with the FEC , etc., as a candidate for Congress. Tim was still teaching at the time as well.

So running for Congress took much of his time. The 1st CD runs the length of southern Minnesota from Wisconsin to the East to South Dakota to the West. There is a lot of rural areas between Sioux Falls to Winona with Rochester just 50 miles from the Wisconsin border.

Tim did not retire under false circumstances.
