Occasionally we will post a cartoon that appeared in The Comment during our four years at the school. I am sure you will recognize the artists.

Here is one from Jim Szalapski…

Our classmate Tom Golden has a book coming out through Covenant Book Publishing (North Carolina) in the next couple of months called “RAMBLINGS” (in print as well as available digitally on Apple, Itunes, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.). It’s a memoir and includes a lot of Twin Cities area stories (plus 67 photographs) including –

• childhood memories of growing up in Como Park
• how he got hired when 20 years old at the Dispatch-Pioneer Press and worked his way up to VP/Director of Advertising
• acting as the general contractor building a house on Forest Lake with Ted Krammer as a neighbor
• raising 3 sons who had their very own lighted hockey rink right outside his front door
• being recruited by the Birmingham News and then by the Omaha World-Herald
• plus lots of funny stories and crazy adventures (including two marriages and two divorces).

He is currently waiting for two page corrections to be completed.  Once done (hopefully yet this week),  the only things that remain are the cover designs.  I’ve attached one cover design idea he has, but Tom has not yet settled on a photo or even the sub-title yet.  The publisher will help him do those things.

The publisher will also create a web site for Tom which promotes the book including information on how to get it.
