John C. Lindstrom ’63 Minnesota’s 8th Judicial District John Lindstrom ’63 had practiced in the Willmar, Minn., area for ten years and served two terms as a state representative when Gov. Wendell Anderson appointed him to Minnesota’s 8th Judicial District bench. Lindstrom served 29 years until his retirement in 2005. “I liked being in a position where I could change people’s lives if they were straying from the straight and narrow,” says the Benson, Minn., native. “I had to be careful not to get black-robe disease, but hopefully most Johnnie judges don’t succumb to that because of the experience they’ve had with Benedictine values.” Lindstrom’s experience as a history major at Saint John’s University was shaped by the likes of Don Talafous ’52, OSB; Hilary Thimmesh ’54, OSB; Don LeMay ’57, OSB; Wilfred Theisen ’56, OSB; and Stephen Humphrey ’29. “They modeled a balanced lifestyle—work, pray—and had a good sense of humor,” he says. He maintains strong ties with Saint John’s, reading Fr. Don Talafous’s daily reflection “to keep me grounded,” rooting for the football team as a season-ticket holder and visiting his son Matt ’92, the Edward L. Henry Professor of Political Science at Saint John’s.
