"Sunlight filtering through the trees at the Wellstone Memorial Park near the Eveleth Airport illuminates one of several signs put up to commemorate the life of the late Senator who died in a plane crash near the site 15 years ago."
MARK SAUER



"People still leave notes and mementos for Paul Wellstone at the quiet memorial site honoring him just off of Highway 53 near Eveleth.

They leave them for his wife Sheila too, and for the six others who died with them exactly 15 years ago today when their plane tragically crashed just miles from the Eveleth-Virginia Airport."
