John Abel is a resident of Victoria, Minnesota, 25 miles southwest of Minneapolis. A native of Indiana, he discovered the beauty of Minnesota's lake country at an early age. This is John's third book project. His current work as a pastoral minister inspired him to uncover the stories of the people whose lives have been positively impacted by the lake whether through the recreation they pursue, the businesses they operate, or the people they inspire. Lake Vermilion's greatest asset is its community.
