Special Spirit – Story of Maureen and Paul Pranghofer

November 30, 2011

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Maureen and Paul Pranghofer joke that they have just enough working body parts for one person. It’s a line that captures their sense of humor, but you really need to meet them to see how much they’ve overcome over the years, and why their special spirit inspires so many.

Spend some time with them, and you’re likely to laugh. They sure do!
