Reaching Out to Classmates

Tom Golden sent us a note with a couple of photos about his recent visit to Ted Kramer.   I believe Ted was the best man at Tom’s wedding many years ago.  Tom G. was also able to reconnect with his friend Frank Marzitelli at our 80th Birthday Bash last August.  Nice to see old friends reconnecting. 

And if any of you wish to share a story or photo with your classmates please let us know.

Here is Tom G.’s note and photos.

As you know, Frank & Tom, Ted and I have been such good friends since 1960.  Ted, Pat Quinlan and I used to occasionally meet downtown St. Paul on Saturdays to shoot pool at Harkins Bowl and Billiard.  Ted and I even ended up living near each other for a number of years in Forest Lake. 

Well, I hadn’t seen Ted in many, many years so it was just time for a road trip to Springfield, IL. for a short visit.  We shared a lot of memories, we had a  lot of laughs and we even had a little Jack Daniels on the rocks.  I am so glad that I made this trip.  It was  truly enjoyable.  It’s sure been fun seeing you again Tom, and you Frank, after so many years.  My message to my Cretin classmates is that if you  haven’t seen one of your old buddies in years, reach out.  You’ll be glad that you did.
