Hello Guys,
Just a few notes from the lunch today.
Many of you know that CDH made the state High School AA hockey tournament again this year. Their opening game was against Maple Grove a team they had played in December and lost, but today CDH prevailed 3-1 and will play tomorrow night (6PM) against Edina. Locally you can watch the games on 45 TV or 45TV Streaming. Last year we watched closely as CDH was in the Tournament and one of our classmate’s Grandson was playing for CDH, Kevin Odlaug. Kevin has graduated and I do not think we have a classmate with a grandson on this years team. However today’s opposition has one Maple Grove’s goal tender is the grandson of our classmate, Mike Roach.
Frank Miley is leaving CDH at the end of the school year and the CDH Board of Directors in consort with the Sisters of St Joseph and the Christian Brother will begin the search for a new President employing the help of two national search firms.
Vietnam Veterans day gathering at the Forest Lake Legion on Sunday March 28th at 2PM—–a BIG THANK YOU to our veterans. (for more information click here).
The 60th year anniversary of our graduation from Cretin is upon us and some things are starting to take shape
CDH has told me that the date of the ONE CDH alumni banquet is Thursday September 28th. With that in mind Dave Britz is heading up organizing a class of 63 golf outing. Perhaps on Wednesday the 27th—NOT SET IN STONE YET and Dave will keep us advised.
Joe Schufman is heading up the effort to schedule a memorial mass to recognize the members of our class who have passed away. Date not yet set but in the same few days around Sept 28th Joe will keep us posted.
John Lentsch will head up the effort to see if there is interest on the part of grads from St Thomas, Visitation, Our Lady of Peace, St Josephus’s Academy and Derham Hall to schedule a 6 school social gathering such as we had on our 25th and 50th reunions.
Finally, to get a general feel for interest I would like to ask for a show of hands, so to speak, on who plans to attend the 60th reunion gatherings.
Please let me know for each segment
