Tragedy for Father of Cretin Student

Hi Guys,

Last week I advised you about a father of a CDH student that was severely beaten in a carjacking on Pinehurst Avenue in Highland Park. Robbers got his vehicle, wallet and phone — and almost his life. St. Paul newspaper deliveryman has long road to recovery. The link to the newspaper article is below. Also below is a note I got back from Peggy Schafer at CDH after classmate Tim Valento inquired if there was a fund set up to help this family going forward with medical and other expenses. The father has a long road to recovery and many alum want to help this family as they put their life back together.

If you would like to help you can send a check to ———–
