excerpt from the introduction to this book, by author John Koblas

While the City of Shoreview turns fifty years old, its history and its peoples go far back to before the coming of the first European.  And during the last half century, so many of us have witnessed Shoreview evolve from a rural, "out in the country" woodland sprinkled with dairy farms and the pioneer spirit to a popular modern residential area known for its lakes and parks and natural beauty.  All of those that have come before us have left their footprints, and while we cannot go back from where we have come, we can go into the future preserving our heritage, casting our own reflections for the many generations that will follow.  By understanding our past and the many changes which have affected our lives, we should find that there is one thing time can never change:  overhearing someone say with a  smile, "Yes, I am proud to live in Shoreview."  For reflections do come from the heart.
