Class of 1955

 

May 2005

 

Dear Gustie Classmates from 1955:

 

Time for your monthly “update” from your reunion committee and designated writer.

 

I just read in today’s morning Minneapolis Star Tribune that Police Chief McManus is going to ask for a license for “beggars.”

 

This note I hope beats that deadline, as I don’t need another license, especially for that distinction.

 

The committee did meet last week with Alumni Director Randall Stuckey ’83 and if I was a farmer, which I am not, I would say the “Hay is in the Barn.”

 

The Alumni Office has been outstanding and impressive in doing everything possible to make our weekend enjoyable; they are cooperative, organized and very compatible to our needs.  I am sure you also noted this in our other mailings from Gustavus.

 

One of the things the Alumni Office is providing is some copies of a CD made of a choir recording from our era when Eugene Casselman was our director.  Dick DeRemee had given a CD to Randall Stuckey and he said he would reproduce the CD for all who want it. 

 

In closing, lets make it a great weekend with an excellent turnout and a fun time for everybody.  We’ve enclosed another registration form for those who might need one (if you’ve already responded, please disregard it).

 

Speaking for the committee, we have had a great time and hope the results on May 27 and 28 speak well for our efforts.

 

I told you earlier I was not a farmer and believe me I am also not a cook―but―the big weekend, “the proof will be in the pudding!”

 

Sincerely your committee,

 

Don L. Swanson

Carol Roberg Lind
