>> ERIC: AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, DESPITE MAYOR COLEMAN'S ATTEMPT TO LURE THEM AWAY, THE TWINS CHOSE NOT TO MOVE ACROSS THE RIVER TO THE SAINTLY CITY.

LET'S REVISIT OUR INDEX FILE QUESTION FROM LAST TIME.

TWO WEEKS IN A ROW WE ASKED YOU ABOUT A MYSTERY MINNESOTAN, NOT SEEN HERE.

THE FORMER MINNESOTAN RELOCATED TO THE CALIFORNIA DESERT.

LITERALLY PUT A TOWN ON THE MAP WITH A BIG DISCOVERY AND GARNERED AN INVITE TO THE 1957 PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURAL CEREMONY.

THOSE DETAILS WEREN'T ENOUGH, SO WE ADDED SEVERAL MORE THE SECOND WEEK.

THE DISCOVERY IN QUESTION, HOT AND COLD MINERAL SPRINGS NEAR PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, IN A PLACE THAT WOULD BECOME THE CITY OF DESERT HOT SPRINGS, WHERE A MUSEUM PAYS TRIBUTE TO OUR MYSTERY PERSON.

TELL US WHO THIS FORMER MINNESOTAN IS.

ALL THE EXTRA DETAILS STILL DIDN'T HELP THESE CALLERS.

>> ERIC: NO, NO, NO, AND NO.

BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO REPORT THAT SEVERAL OF YOU DID CALL IN WITH THE CORRECT ANSWER.

HERE'S ONE OF THE PRODUCERS'’ FAVORITES.

>> ERIC: YES, ANN, YOU ARE CORRECT.

CABOT YERXA WAS THE ONE-TIME MINNESOTAN WE SOUGHT.

HERE'S AN UNDATED PHOTO OF HIM.

AS SEVERAL OTHER CALLERS NOTED, HIS FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED SEVERAL MERCANTILE STORES IN MINNESOTA.

THERE'S A NICE AD FOR ONE OF THEM.

AND BECAUSE WE ARE HAVING SO MUCH FUN SHOWING YOU OLD IMAGES THE PRODUCERS FOUND ON THE INTERNET, CHECK OUT THIS FINE INAUGURAL INVITATION.

SPECIAL THANKS AND SHOUT-OUT TO FORMER "ALMANAC" AND TPT STAFFER LISA BLACKSTONE FOR HOOKING US UP WITH THAT HISTORY QUESTION.

DO YOU KNOW A FUN MINNESOTA HISTORY TIDBIT THAT YOU THINK WE HAVEN'T ASKED ABOUT?

SEND US A NOTE OR GIVE US A CALL AND LET US KNOW.

IT COULD GET YOUR NAME ON TELEVISION.

FOR A OUPLE SECONDS.

WE HAVE JUST ENOUGH TIME LEFT FOR ANOTHER TUNE BY CANTUS.

IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THEM IN PERSON, YOU CAN FIND THEIR "CHRISTMAS WITH CANTUS" SCHEDULE ON THEIR WEBSITE.

TAKE A LISTEN AND BE CAREFUL.
