Minnetonka teacher Glenn Skoy said,” Anything he did, he did well.” His ties to Minnetonka are strong. Every year since graduation, he comes back to meet with Minnetonka High School friends. “We did very different things in school when we were there,” he says, “but we were able to build relationships when we were at Minnetonka because it was such an inclusive environment.”
