Hello Everyone,
Nice day in Minnesota 50 degrees and sun shine. About as good as it will get for 5-6 months!
15 guys were together today and 9 of them are VETERANS (see photo) Left to right are —- Dick Butler, Dave Britz, John Runyou, Tom Schleck, Jim Dimond, Jim Hudak, Joe Brooks, Schufman, and Dave Moore. We look forward to this week each November to pay special attention to our classmates who are veterans. Thank you guys for serving our country.
As you know we lost Don Danneker a week ago today. Don was a regular at the monthly lunches, and we miss him for sure. A card was signed by all to send to Claudia Danneker and a minute of silence to remember Don was taken.
We welcomed a first-time luncheon attendee to the gathering —-one of the four Moore’s in our class ——- Dave Moore. Sure hope you enjoyed the gathering and will attend often.
As you know the class of 63 has sponsored two scholarships for CDH students, one on our 40th anniversary in 2003 (class of 63–40th anniversary scholarship) and one on our 60th anniversary in 2023 (Bonfe/Ryan scholarship for physically challenged students) Joe Schufman and I get yearly recaps of these scholarships that you our classmates fund. Currently the 40th has $96,000 and the Bonfe/Ryan has $87,000.
Both these scholarships help families afford the quality Catholic Education CDH provides.. Thank you to all who support these class of 63 legacies.
Joe M Mcgrath had kept all the copies of The Comment newspaper from our 4 years and I am in possession of them now and plan to pass an edition around the lunch each month—-Thank you Joe.
Hope all of you have an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday.
Next lunch for class of 63 will be Thursday December 11th
Best to all
Tom Troskey
