Ka dib markii uu u ciyaaray kubbadda koleyga kana qalin jabiyay Carleton College, Lynn Krafve wuxuu yimid Dugsiga Sare ee Minnetonka isagoo ah macalin xisaabeed cusub dayrtii 1958 isagoo u hamuun qabay inuu sameeyo waxa uu kari karo si uu dugsiga uga dhigo meel ka wanaagsan.
Markaa markii maamulaha ciyaaraha ee dugsigu ka codsaday inuu tababare u noqdo kooxda wiilasha ee waddanka, si farxad leh ayuu waajib ugu noqday.
"Waxaan ka mid ahaan lahaa kooxda orodka ee dugsiga sare ee Fairbault (Minn.) laakiin ma aanan ahayn orodyahan masaafo," Krafve ayaa xasuusiyay. "Laakiin waxaan sameeyay intii karaankeyga ah si aan u ogaado sida aan u tababaran karo (dalka iskutallaabta) sida ugu fiican ee aan awoodo, waxaana halkaas ku soo bandhignay orod fiican, oo ay ku jiraan orodyahano badan oo wanaagsan oo ku jira wadamada isku dhafka ah iyo kuwa ku jira orodka." Sanad ka dib, wuxuu la wareegay barnaamijka orodka iyo garoonka sidoo kale.
Kooxdiisa waddammada gudihisa waxay ku guulaysteen qaybta 1964-kii oo waxay qaateen kaalinta saddexaad ee kulanka gobolka; waxqabad ay ku celcelisay sanadka soo socda.
Waxaa ka mid ahaa safka ciyaartoyga fiican ee Krafve uu tababaray: Marty Benson, oo ku guuleystay gobolka 800-yard ee 1963 si uu u qabto horyaalkii ugu horreeyay ee gobolka Minnetonka; iyo Bruce Johnson, oo ku guuleystay orodka gobolka 1966dii.
Waxa xiisaha lihi leh, Benson waxa uu ku guulaystey hanashadiisa gobolka halka Krafve uu ka maqnaa MHS muddo sannad ah, isaga oo ka shaqaynayay shahaadada mastarka ee Jaamacadda Rutgers.
"Marty waxa uu ii soo diri jiray telegaraamyo uu igu cusboonaysiinayo kulamadiisa sanadka gudihiisa," ayuu yidhi Krafve, "oo ay ku jirto hal telegram oo aad u wanaagsan markii uu ku guuleystay gobolka 800-yard."
Todoba sano ka dib, warka ku saabsan Benson, oo markaa duuliye helicopter ah oo Vietnam ah, wuxuu ahaa mid naxdin leh. Dabka cadawgu wuxuu dilay bishii Febraayo 1970. "Waxay ii ahayd maalin murugo badan aniga iyo bulshada oo dhan," Krafve ayaa dib u xusuustay.
Akhbaarta naxdinta leh ayaa timid intii uu Krafve u ordayay maamulaha barnaamijka kubbadda koleyga wiilasha laga soo bilaabo 1965 ilaa 1980. Waxay ahayd waqti ay ku jiraan sannado badan oo wanaagsan, oo ay ku jiraan qaybta labaad ee ku dhameysatay 1972 iyo dhowr horyaal oo shirarka, iyo sidoo kale. sida qaar qallafsan.
"Waxaa jiray dhowr sano oo aanan u fiicnayn sida kooxaha kale qaarkood," ayuu xusay.
"Laakiin mar walba waxaan siin jiray qaddarinta wiilasheenna sababtoo ah waxaan u ciyaarnay si adag oo aan horumarinay sanadka oo dhan. Waxaan mar walba dareemayay shaqadeyda inay tahay inaan ka dhigo mid wanaagsan, cadaalad ah iyo waayo-aragnimo wanaagsan ciyaartoyda ka soo baxay barnaamijkeena."
Krafve waxa uu dareemay wax la mid ah doorkiisa fasalka, halkaas oo uu ku baray xiisado xisaabeed oo kala duwan ilaa uu ka fariisto, ama sida uu jecel yahay in uu ugu yeero, "dib-u-fiirin," 1996.
Falsafada wax bariddiisa waxaa ku jiray taabasho wacan, laga yaabee farsamo aan la dareemin: maalin kasta, wuxuu la falgali lahaa arday kasta si uu u hubiyo "ay dareemeen inay qayb ka yihiin waxa dhacaya," ayuu xusay. Sidoo kale, marka uu isu diyaarinayo inuu casharradiisa bixiyo, Krafve waxa uu "ma malaynayaa aniga oo arday ah oo dhegaysanaya waxa aan sheegayo" si qof kastaa u fahmo casharka.
Maalmahan, Krafve iyo xaaskiisa, Jacie, oo ah macallimad hawlgab ah oo Minnetonka ah, waxay ku raaxaysanayaan hawlgabka safarka, golfka, iyo inay waqti badan la qaataan shan carruur ah oo ay awoowe u yihiin, kuwaas oo la nool wiilkooda Michael (MHS '93) ee Seattle iyo gabadhii Alyson ('88) ee Duluth.
