John and the list: here's a link to a story about this that ran Nov. 4 
in the SW Journal:

Also, you can read our story about Peter McLaughlin's mayoral

I was told list members Barb Lickness and Jim Graham were in the crowd 
when Peter announced today, as well as Jana Metge, Park Board 
Commissioner Jon Olson, and Linden Hills NRP activist Debbie Evans. Any 
others of note?
