Hello all,
Nice group of classmates (14) gathered today for lunch.
As we do each November we take a photo of the men in our class who are veterans. Left to right—Joe Schufman, Dick Butler, Dave Britz, Jim Hudak, Joe Brooks, Tom Schleck, Larry Moser, John Runyon THANK YOU MEN

Here is a good surprise—for the first time in about two years all those that signed up were there and no non sign ups showed up. This makes the restaurant quite happy but know that if you show up without letting me know you will always have a place.
Joe McGrath who is very regular at the lunches was not there as he is again going through chemo treatments for cancer but Joe tells me he is handling it well. Prayers for you Joe!
We passed around the program for the Annual CDH Community awards dinner which was held Oct 21st at the St Paul Hotel. Our classmate Tom Schwartz received the very prestigious Bishop Cretin award.
Also passed around the Annual letter CDH sends out with some detail on how the class of 63 – 40th anniversary scholarship money is used. The details on the recently established Bonfe/Ryan scholarship were not yet available.
A few of the snow birds have already left, Gary Stoffel in Arizona, Gene Bovy in Arizona and Tim Valento in Florida. I bet there are others!
A few months ago we discussed having an 80TH class of 63 birthday party for all of us during the summer on our regular Thursday lunch schedule—–that is still on the radar screen—-your comments are welcome.
Mark your calendars for December lunch on Thursday Dec 12th.
Count your blessings and have a fine Thanksgiving Holiday.
Tom Troskey
