St. Olaf 'Andrews Sisters' serenade President Bush in Minneapolis

Amy Gage
July 13, 2002

When President George W. Bush visited the Twin Cities in July on behalf of U.S. Senate candidate Norm Coleman, he was serenaded at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis by the St. Olaf College version of the Andrews Sisters -- 2002 graduates Rachel Howe and Sarah Souder and sophomore Kira Lace. The trio, which performed frequently on campus this past academic year, was accompanied by 2002 graduate Amanda Kaus. The group did a 20-minute set of World War II-era standards, according to Howe, who works as a nanny for Coleman's campaign manager. "Hopefully this will turn into a few more gigs and at some Democratic functions, too," she said with a laugh.
