What’s A STRU?

Having fun with the gang on The 4Outdoorsmen is the perfect way for a guy to share stories about life in the woods and on the waters. Steve Strusinski began his hunting and fishing life very early on, thanks to his dad and a couple of uncles. Ely, Minnesota is two hundred and thirty-five miles from St. Paul, but to a twelve year old kid it didn’t matter. The hunting shack that is affectionately called “Polish Palace”, Lake Vermillion, and the woods of St. Louis County were and still are heaven to Struman. As a kid, baseball became the love of his life. He eventually played college ball and earned the position as head coach at Hamline University at the age of twenty-four. These days his bucket is fuller than ever with his beautiful wife Dianna, three sons, ten grandkids, a thirty-two year real estate career, part time job with the Minnesota Twins, competitive senior softball, coaching a granddaughter in fast pitch, a little dream cabin in Chetek, Wisconsin, and yes, the Polish Palace is still in the picture after fifty-five years. His favorite quote is “Every day is a gift. That’s why it is called the present.”And he truly tries to keep that thought in his head nearly every waking moment.
