Kathryn Aga reads all, confesses to crush

(Kathy Aga just finished reading our entire web site and then sent us this note. You probably remember her from the Class of '66. This is a good time to remind anyone reading this blog that everyone is welcome to submit stuff, particularly since we've had sort of a shortage of material lately from 65ers. Part of that is the Trailboss's fault. He's been doing daycare full-time for his grandaughter Emily Kathleen. Hardly had time to post her photo. Oops. Gotta run. Messy pants, I think. -- TB)

Hi Stan-
Just saw Carol Engstrom at the grocery store where we discussed your web site. Both of us felt it was something far more likely to have come from the class of '66 rather than your class of hoods and troublemakers. But I guess if Jim Clifford can be a judge (but let's not forget that so is Tom Longfellow and Russ Melton) anything can happen.

Several years ago Solvieg gave me your address, but for some reason I never went to it. Russ Bey told me about it this summer, and I have spent a lot of time reading and enjoying it. By the way, please let Solvieg (I never liked calling her Sam) know that I have Marion Ording's (Yes, Ted Ording's wife) baby grand piano. If she would like another we could deal.

So now Mr. Obert can't seem to talk enough. When I had a crush on him in H.S. he couldn't even look at a girl. Well, I guess it did take him a while. Nice to have him back in town. As a matter of fact, after reading all 2 1/2 years of your Crier, I'm begining to think that half the old people I see at Pete's County Market are from the class of "65.

As for me.....I graduated college (U of M) married George Schackel (class of "64) and lived and taught school in St. Paul, England and Boston. Divorced and returned to Alexandria in '83 where I had a brief career in radio before I remarried a car dealer and had one son. We love it here. My dad (Erc Aga) died in '96 after 4 mos of wild and insane living at Knute Nelson. My mother has lived at that blessed institution for 8 years. I've run into many class members of more '65 and '66 while visiting there. I am currently a Governess for a single physician who is the mother of 3. It's a lot of power, fame and wealth and suits me well.

Keep up the good work. If nobody minds I'll keep peeking at what you guys are up to. Bye the way, Sarah Lynn-You look even better than you did in H.S.

Sincerely, Kathryn Aga Lee

And now a note from Sara (nobody calls me Sara Lynn anymore) Sevey:

Thank you, Kathy, that was very sweet of you to say. I would love to claim that this is the result of good, clean living but we know that's not true.

Enjoy your reunion this summer and write to our blog telling us what you did and hopefully send lots of pictures too.

Sara
Proud member of the hoodlums and troublemakers class of '65

Dear Kathy:

What's a girl? (OK, admittedly lame in that area - goodness, I even grew up right across the street from the HQ!) And actually, I'm not any more talkative than I ever was (I hate having my naps disturbed!), but I am retired and the Trailboss offered me a part-time job.

p.s. Of course, I'm obviously flattered by Kathy's "revelation." Does anyone else have any such thing to declare? I am afraid my schoolboy crush didn't extend much past Viola Halvorson.
