Actually, It's a 13-Striped Ground Squirrel

The North Dakota article by Jennifer Vogel [“No. 1 Hard,” February] made me want to move back to North Dakota. After living in Minnesota for many years, I have listened to put-downs of North Dakota from fellow workers and friends. But I have always taken it with good humor. After all, most of these people went to a school with a rodent for a mascot. I feel fortunate that I have lived in both North Dakota and Minnesota and it is sad to see what is happening in small towns and rural areas in both states.
