One of the beauties of being a journalist, even a freelancer like myself, is that it opens doors.

So, last week, before heading to Minnesota for my annual pilgrimage "home," I took advantage of my journalist status to e-mail Neil Haugerud and ask if I could stop by and visit a bit. Neil reads my columns, and usually agrees with them; he said yes.

Who is Neil Haugerud? Briefly, he's a remarkable human being, one of Minnesota's great unsung heroes. Nowadays, I would guess, he's best known as author of a beautiful little book called "Jailhouse Stories."

His book is based on his three years as deputy sheriff and eight years as sheriff of rural Fillmore County in the picturesque hilly part of southeastern Minnesota.
