Donoso’s prize winds up in museum, others at Star Eagle
(Editor’s note: Part seven of a seven-part series about local, area, and state amateur and professional boxing.)
By RODNEY HATLE
Contributing Writer
Raul Donoso’s Upper Midwest Golden Gloves Welterweight Champion trophy was found a few years ago as part of several dozen NRHS overflow awards stored in boxes at NRHEG High School and passed on to the historical society by Dennis Prescher.
It’s now on display at the Minnesota State Public School Orphanage Museum in Owatonna. Harvey Ronglien was informed of the discovery and, being in touch with Rev. Raul J. Donoso in Washington state, he spread the news.
Ronglien participates in the well-being of the museum, especially located in a building which is one of many that houses Owatonna city government and other activities at West Hills Circle. Contents of the displays tell the story of a place where his and Donoso’s formative years were spent.
“Originally housed on 160 acres, the grounds grew to 329 acres by 1937 with 42 acres for campus and 287 for cultivation to feed all the livestock, and fruits/vegetables for its inhabitants.” (www.orphanagemuseum.com)

There’s a new business in town.
You might have noticed it passing through on Highway 30, or you might be one of the many who have already stopped in to have work done at NB Auto, which opened for business last month.
Occupying the building that previously housed Repairs Unlimited, among others, NB Auto provides local residents with another option for their car repair needs. Operated by Cole Neitzel and Dustin Schlaak of New Richland, Josh Bauleke of LeCenter, and Mike Gridland, Lonsdale, the shop offers almost all regular repair services as well as detailing and free check engine light testing.
