Meanwhile, more on confirmations 50 years ago

First, this note from a beaming Tom Obert, who finally got his entire confirmation program published.

Stan,
Thanks. And was glad I could provide a missing artifact from Karl's youth. The Obert children were all baptized together . . . just in case. My Dad had one time considered the seminary.
A remembrance from that Sunday was that I was wearing a brand new red blazer and the bishop threw water all over it (probably the baptism?)! And others may also recall our reverend, Henry Hoover - during Sunday school he would take us on "lion hunts," which I recall were great fun.

----------------------------------
Trying to picture a young Tom, in a brand new red blazer, getting baptized by the bishop-throwing-water  method. Hmm. That's different. Must be Episcopalian. We need a word from Rick Beresford to clear this up.

Continuing on with our explorations of confirmations of long ago, next we hear from Marie Schultz Daugherty's baby brother, George Schultz, underclassman. Retired. Still useful.

Stan,
You have posted the First Lutheran confirmation photos from 1965, 1966 and 1968. I thought I would send you the picture of ours from the class of 1967. Kudos to Karen Westby. She had the photo posted on her blog for our class.

George 

------------------------------

Note: That would be George, top row, far right. They were sophomores when we were seniors. There's Kenny Dyrstad, Roger Severson (Gary's brother), Steve Colby, and a bunch of others you might run into in the lunch line. Olson, Martinson, Steen, Bergby, Loch. Nice class. Nice crop of Lutherans. Thanks for making us more inclusive, George.

And we're still waiting on Lorlee's confirmation class photo on the front steps of St. Mary's.
