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 todays 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 dont 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. Weve enclosed another registration form for those who might need one (if youve 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
