Class of '65 gets KXRA radio recognition

Patty Bratten Wicken at her KXRA post. Bonita Olson Gilbertson, below, who listens to the KXRA morning show regularly, filed this report today:

This morning on the morning show on KXRA our honorary classmate, Patty Bratten Wicken (class of '67) and her co-host Dennis Anholt started talking about the class of '65.

Patty evidently had seen pictures of Tom's birthday bash (which was a hoot, by the way) and she started talking about what a cool class we were.

She said her class looked up to us and wanted to be like us. She then mentioned the blog and said how fun it was to read about us. Dennis asked if her class had a blog and I think she said they had a site but people weren't as chatty and full of news and notes as our class is. Dennis then asked who some of the locals were and she did a pretty good job of remembering a lot of us.

Patty has a memory like a steel trap. I don't think she forgets anything. Too bad more of you can't hear the show as she can really take one down memory lane.

So good for us. People are watching and liking what they see.

(And Tom, don't take the guff too seriously, my sister saw your picture and wondered if you were single!!! Sorry, Ruth.)
