Hello all,
Another beautiful day in St. Paul – a last gasp of summer with a high near 80. A great day for a gathering of 14 of our classmates for lunch at the Pool and Yacht Club.
Much banter and story-telling today (most of the stories told will stay in that room), so the mood was upbeat.
Jim Hudak mentioned the book he has written is now a google doc, a step on the way to publishing a hard copy. Here is a photo of the book cover –

Tom Troskey was not able to join us. He is on holiday with his wife Linda. Here is a photo he sent – appears to be on top of the world. It was taken on the observation deck of the Sears Tower in Chicago.

There was, sadly, some serious news that was shared.
Pat McDonald told us he had recently talked to our classmate Dick Skinner. In June Dick learned he had prostate cancer and that it had metastasized. He is about to undergo treatments (post surgery). Please send some prayers Dick’s way.
Joe McGrath was asked how he was doing and, positive as always, said good. He is undergoing a new chemotherapy session for his lung cancer, which had been subdued for the last few years. Prayers helped Joe in the past so please send many more his way.

Our next luncheon is scheduled for Thursday November 14 at the Pool and Yacht Club.
