For the first 5 years of this great event it was held at the Elk River Golf Club and due to a conflict we have moved the venue to The River Oaks Golf club in Cottage Grove MN on August 7th. See upcoming events for the details.
Occasionally we will post a cartoon that appeared in The Comment during our four years at the school. I am sure you will recognize the artists.
Here is one from Jim Szalapski…
Our classmate Tom Golden has a book coming out through Covenant Book Publishing (North Carolina) in the next couple of months called “RAMBLINGS” (in print as well as available digitally on Apple, Itunes, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.). It’s a memoir and includes a lot of Twin Cities area stories (plus 67 photographs) including –
He is currently waiting for two page corrections to be completed. Once done (hopefully yet this week), the only things that remain are the cover designs. I’ve attached one cover design idea he has, but Tom has not yet settled on a photo or even the sub-title yet. The publisher will help him do those things.
The publisher will also create a web site for Tom which promotes the book including information on how to get it.

Beautiful summer day on the Mississippi River where 21 0f our classmates met for lunch today.
Two of the men with us today have lost their mothers over the past several weeks. Gary Stoffel and John Lentsch were offered the condolences and prayers of those at the lunch today. Glad you two were with us today!
Classmate Dave Mordorski’s regular email address has been disabled—he is on Facebook and lives in Bonita Springs Florida. If anyone reading this could contact Dave on Facebook and see if he has a regular email address we could use and if he would like to remain on our newsletter email list. Let me know. Thanks.
Over the past two months I have called your attention to the web site www.cretinclassof65.com
Our class is about to establish a web site and Joe Schufman has GRABBED hold of this project and has done a terrific job to make it a reality. Joe gave a presentation on what it may look like and solicited comments from those attending. Joe is ready to make this happen. In the next couple of weeks Joe and I will send out a mock up to a few of you and see how it works. If one of you has some computer skills Joe would like some help in maintaining the site. Please consider and let me or Joe know. Thanks
Here something very, very cool. Classmate Frank Villaume showed us a recent photo of he and his wife as they were about to walk up the stairs of Air Force 1 for a tour. Wouldn’t that be a thrill?

Hey guys, we have a class of 63 lunch scheduled for Thursday June 13th—-you may recall we canceled April’s meeting due to a snow storm and May’s meeting due to Mississippi River flooding.
So how does the saying go “come hell or high water” we are going to have our regular class of 63 lunch on THURSDAY JUNE 13th at 11:30AM at the Pool and Yacht Club.
Please let me know by Tuesday June 11th if you will be attending—-THANK YOU
Here are some other items to be aware of.
Last week I ran into Tom Rubbelke’s son and he told me that the cancer battle Tom has been fighting for at least two years is going in a positive direction. He said he took his dad up fishing last week and had a great time.
Dave Britz alerted me to a new posting on Tom’s caring bridge site that details some very positive outcomes of Tom’s treatments. The site also has a great photo of Tom—-take a look here – T. Rubbelke Caring Bridge Site
Hope Tom will be at our class luncheon on the 13th.
