WINONA, Minn. — Soon a new generation of soldering experts will be counting out of the Winona schools, having learned their craft on busted pinball machines. Matt Wagner, who teaches at the Winona Learning Center, has started a club that repairs and restores pinball machines. The club has roots in a summer softball league when Middle School science teacher Joe Cynor mentioned to Wagner that he needed some wires soldered together for his science class this fall. Wagner lent a hand, and now soldering is a skill learned at both schools.
Soldering tools in hand. At the Winona Middle School, science teacher Joe Cynor and softball buddy Matt Wagner, of the Learnug Center faculty, take a break. “Say cheese.”
