Yesterday’s Memories COMPILED BY GWENDOLYNE HONRUD 10 Years Ago Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2010 Nick Kolstad loves the outdoors, and fills his drawings and paintings with wildlife images. The 18-year-old’s work was featured at ArtSpot last June. But because he had Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a progressive degeneration of the muscles, he uses a wheelchair and he can’t hunt in the woods any more. Last week, a lot of volunteers came together and granted Nick the wish he applied for two years ago through the United Special Sportsman Alliance. On Friday he...
