Hello Guys,
Today we had a pleasant couple of hours socializing with 11 of our Cretin classmates.
We began the gathering remembering and respecting our classmate who passed away on Jan. 29th and signed a card to send to Judi, Ken’s wife.——-Rest in peace Ken Rogers!
Our friend, classmate and regular lunch attendee Pat McDonnell is going through some serious medical issues and could not be with us. Pat is staying optimistic and hopes get back to attending the class of 63 gatherings in the future. Say some prayers for Pat!
We had a “young “ guest today from the Cretin Class of 65, Jim Hannegan. Jim and I have known each other since grade school and Jim is active in the Cretin Class of 65 gatherings and web site. Seeing the website Jim set up for the class of 65 inspired me to see if there was a chance to get one done for the class of 63. Knowing Joe Schufman had some computers skills I asked him about a web site—Joe would check into it and called Jim to discuss. Next thing I know is a few weeks later Joe calls me and asks if he can stop by to show me some web site ideas he had. Joe had it down and within a few more weeks there was the class of 63 web site up and running—-THANK YOU Jim H. and Joe S.
On a very bright side classmate Charlie Evans was with us today as he recovers from recent Heart Surgery. He looks good, sounds good and says he is feeling good—GREAT NEWS
The CDH hockey team continues to top the big school hockey rankings in the state—-lets hope we seeing them in a few weeks in the State HS Hockey Tournament at the xcel rink.
Notice the photo below, it is one of our classmates with a friend—-while we were having lunch at the Pool and Yacht club on the icy Mississippi Gary Stoffel and his friend Sue Marschall (Derham 68) were enjoying the often wild PGA golf tournament —The Phoenix Waste Management Open. Looks pretty darn good to me…….

Joe moved out of St Paul a few years back and now resides in rural western Wisconsin. As Joe said all the years he live in St Paul taking sunrise photos from his house in the middle of the city didn’t show much but now his clear view of the sunrise has resulted in what I think are stunning and soothing photos—-I bet you will also.
Finally mark your calendar for the class of 63 lunch next month—-MARCH 10th.
