Hi Guys,
Nice gathering of classmates today at the Pool and Yacht. A jump in the pool would have been in order as the hot 96 degrees made us all thankful for AC.
The guys gathered today were Don Danneker, Joe Schufman, Jim Dimond, Tom Troskey, Tom Racine, Dave Tyree, Joe Brooks, Ed Sund, Joe M. McGrath, Larry Moser, Rick O’Connor, Dave Britz, George Bonfe, John Lentsch, Tom Schleck.
A couple of guys called me to be sure I give a hello to all since they could not be there. Pat McDonnell sent his regards and hopes that he can attend the gathering again soon. Pat had back surgery about 6 weeks ago and the “recovery” has not gone very well—-best to you Pat from all of us.
Classmate Bill Haskamp sent his best wishes to all and we hope to see Bill at one of the lunches soon.
Recently I came across my Freshman year—-Bulletin of Information (BLUE BOOK) We passed it around to the crew. Kind of fun to see many things detailed in the book, procedures, policies, uniform requirements, discipline, costs—tuition $170/year, expectations etc.
On Sept 16 CDH will be holding a first time event and it is titled —ONE Cretin Derham Hall. It is to recognize the alums of all three schools that make up CDH
Currently Cretin has about 6,000 living alumni, Derham about 2,000 and CDH 10,000. This event will bring all three school’s alumni together. Think of it, brothers, sisters, mothers, sons, grand parents, fathers, husband/wife. If you are an alum of any of the three schools you are invited. Lots of planning is going on to make this a very enjoyable evening. More info will follow over the summer. So Mark your calendar!
A couple of more things to mark your calendar for are the 8th annual Class of 63 Golf outing (THE CHARLIE). Dave Britz is the chair and the date is Wednesday August 11th. DAVE WOULD LIKE TO GET A RESPONSE AS TO WHO PLANS TO PLAY. So let me know or Dave Britz at britzie37@aol.com
For the 6th consecutive year classmate George Bonfe would like to host the August Class of 63 luncheon at his home on Forest Lake on Thursday August 12th—thank you George
Finally, the next class of 63 lunch will be on Thursday July 8th.
