Wonderful spring day here in Saint Paul.  Partly cloudy, upper 50s.  Good day for lunch with classmates.

Thirteen of us got together.  We were delightfully surprised that Pat McDonald was able to join us!  Pat recently recovered from a lengthy hospital stay and was in great spirts.  Very glad he could be with us.

Tom Troskey was not able to join us since his wife was having shoulder surgery today.   We wish Linda a speedy recovery.

Nearly everyone in the group was aware of the new incoming CDH President, Jeb Myers, who assumes his role on June 1 of this year.

We anticipate that next month’s luncheon will be held at CDH and we will get to meet the latest recipients of the two scholarhips our class has funded.  The lunch will be held on April 11.  More details to follow in the next week or so.

Our classmate Bob O’Malley and his wife Barb hosted a lunch for Rob Bollinger and Teri McCloughan from CDH, alums Wally Olsen and Tom Lentsch and wife Debbie in Paradise Valley, AZ on Thursday, March 7.   According to Bob, the weather was not conducive to golf but was a nice day for fellowship.   Rob Bollinger mentioned that he enjoys getting our alumni together for these meetings and learning about their lives and background since they left Cretin. More such meetings are planned.

Below is a photo from the get-together. From left to right, Rob Bollinger, Bob and Barb O’Malley, Wally Olsen, Teri McCloughan, Debbie and Tom Lentsch.
