Thanks Pinky, you gave back when you didn't have to. Your legacy will live on at the U of MN for now and the future. RIP.

I found the headline very misleading and confusing. My first thought was that a major benefactor had pulled his support from the U.

Thanks, Pinky. You will be missed. It was insane how tough it was for you to become a Regent.

Seemed like just any guy. You wouldn't know that he was a successful athlete and accomplished businessman.

Thanks for being a great, generous Minnesotan and for playing so well for the Gophers instead of Wisconsin, Ohio State or Notre Dame. You will be missed.
