Success Stories

What is this section of The DuSu?

No dictionary definition of "success" embodies all that the term can imply. To some, success is gauged by the acquisition of material wealth. For others, it's a broader idea, representing a personal sense of security and fulfillment. Some days, success is measured in the number of people we don't flick off en route to work. However success is quantified, most of us seek it and more than a few people in the Duluth-Superior area personify it.

The Twin Ports is a microcosm of communities. Professional, cultural, and social groups overlap creating a stew of characters and personalities.
