Missing you already?
I guess I should have announced the closing of the blog earlier. Never got so much input in a day! Here's some notes that were nice to receive:
Dear Stan and Tom,
Thanks for all your work on the blog!!! Really hate to see it go but 2010 will be here before we know it!
Best,
Kathy Skadsberg

I check it every day. Can you just leave it up and if someone sends something in… you will put it up?
Heck I even love the hockey reports.

From the cub:
I know the blog is on hold, but just some more Alex stuff for the totally and semi-interested.
For the Trailboss: I didn't realize until today, when we were discussing the shut down of the blog, that one of the guys I have been mall walking with for the last couple of years was your (and Mark and Karen Benson's) confirmation instructor at 1st Lutheran. Dave Hoyme retired back to Alex after competing his career as a colonel-chaplain in the military. He said he remembers you guys from his Alex "tour of duty" from 1961 - 64. He also said that Murrae Freng was the music teacher in Brooten when he was going to school there. He goes to more Alex sporting events than anybody.
I set up a meeting with Paul Donley this morning to see if he would be a board member for the Alex Education Foundation. We decided to meet at 8:00 at the Daily Grind. Paul, still relatively new to what's going on in his old home town, didn't know where the Daily Grind was. I explained. So, this morning I was at there at 8:00 - by 8:15 still no Paul. Finally, he came in and said he had been waiting in Raapers, another place he had never been to before. He had called Ruth at home from Raapers wondering where I was - Ruth said I had left home a half hour ago, so that made her nervous. Paul hung up and asked the waitress in Raapers if he was in the Daily Grind. She said no (of course) and pointed him in the right direction. When Paul discovered he couldn't get a full breakfast at the Daily Grind, we went back to Raapers. Meanwhile, Ruth came into town looking for me. When she couldn't find me in the Daily Grind (she saw my car out back), they told her to try Raapers. She found us there, then, exasperated, went back home. I hope it all works out.
FYI, Our Little Darlings have won two road games so far this week (and go to Fergus tomorrow night) - 7 - 1 @ Sartell, and 4 - 2 last night @ Brainerd - and are now 14 - 1 for the season.

Thanks for maintaining this for the class of ’65. One thing that I meant to ask you about and delayed for one reason or another is this…… you published a photo of me and our 74 Bricklin in July 05 if I recall correctly. After a couple of days, you took it down and we never saw it again. I just assumed it was an error, but in thinking back on it perhaps you did not realize that it was gone. If you still have the email that I sent it with, I would appreciate having it returned as it is something that my children and grandchildren would like to see again. If you can, thanks. If not, I understand that as well.
As I said, thanks again for doing this for us.

Hi Tom and Stan,
I'm pretty bummed about the blog shut down. I do realize that very few people contributed (thank goodness you did) but it's still a shame. You and Stan deserve a HUGE thank you for your work on it. Kathy too. A lot of people don't know what they have until they lose it. Hey, wasn't there a song that went like that? Hopefully in a few years it (the blog) will reappear.
I hope you keep me on your mailing list. I get a kick out of you and Ruth and your antics. Today's was a hoot. I remember the game "Whisper around the world". We used to play it in girl scouts and at First Lutheran Church at the youth meetings whatever they were called. We also played a game called "Wink" and we could wink at a girl or boy of our choice, kind of a winking musical chairs!?! Anyway, I used to wink at Rich Divine as I thought he was...tee hee.
Oh, I got distracted...anyway, Tom, your morning sounded like a comedy of errors.
Must run, Bonita

Stan:
I am so saddened to see that the class of '65 blog is closing shop. It was a "favorite" site that I checked every day, sometimes 2x a day, ever since it's been up and running. You've done a fantastic job keeping it going, and for that I say a huge THANK YOU! Thru the site and the subsequent reunion, I've reconnected with "old" classmates and continue to correspond/visit with them. You will be missed.......hopefully it will be up and running again before we know it. Thanks a million!
