Hi Everyone,
Rainy gloomy day in St Paul today but not at the lunch with 17 of your Cretin classmates. The guys there today were Joe Brooks, Dave Britz, Rick O’Connor, Charlie Evans, Dave Tyree, Roger Neils, Pat McDonnell, Dick Butler, Frank Villaume, Joe Schufman, John Lentsch, Joe M McGrath, George Bonfe, Tom Schleck, Mike Swenson, Gene Bovy and Tom Troskey.
We started off the meeting with some thoughtful silence in memory of two of our classmates who passed away this past month; Pat Curran in August and Rodger Slater this week. Please keep those guys and their families in your prayers.
Dave Britz who took over as the organizer of the annual class golf outing after the death of our classmate Charlie Schuldt in 2016 has procured a traveling trophy for the group each year that wins the annual CHARLIE golf outing.
This year the winners were Joe Schufman, Ed Sund and Bob O’Malley and you’ll see in one of the photos Dave presenting the trophy to Joe—–something for the rest of us to shoot for next August.
Don’t forget the Cretin High School Alumni banquet next Thursday the 19th—A separate email was just sent out with details for the event. Hope many of you will be able to attend.
Next monthly class of 63 lunch will be Thursday October 10th—mark your calendar.
Thanks and best to all of you,
Tom Troskey
