Former (K)night People in Minneapolis

Here’s Peggy Rader with her son Alex von Sternberg (left) and his friend Max. The two have been friends since age 2. The occasion for the photo was Max’s graduation from high school. Alex turned 19 this summer and just completed his freshman year at the University of Minnesota. Peggy is director of marketing and communications in the College of Education and Human Development, but she still does not get discounted tuition for Alex. Alex’s father, Bob von Sternberg, is still at the Minneapolis Star Tribune and has remarried. He and his wife adopted two children from Russia last year, ages 2 and 3. We are hoping to hear from Bob soon.

Peggy says Alex likes to write and she and Bob both think he is pretty good, but he has no desire for the newspaper business, at least right now.

Maye be has heard stories about Peggy and Bob working nights and weekends with Harry Liggett at the Beacon Journal.
