Hey, I don't see much chatter from the class of '75. Are we going to meet somewhere "off campus"? I am looking forward to catching up, but there has to be somebody to catch up with...call people...drag them along with you. I am going to work on Slavin...

To the MHT class of '79, enjoy the weekend festivities. Although I cannot make the reunion, I will be wishing I was there reliving fond memories from grade school. Hopefully the class of '79 will have a tremendous turnout. A few names from the past to get the stories started, Mrs. Wenberg, Ms, Hutton, Ms. Cunningham, Fr. Macnulty, Mr. Deinama, Mrs. May. and of course my favorite Mrs. Swedzinski. Be sure to make a sign of the cross when you hear the sirens.

Regards,

Thanks to the Saint Louis Park Sailor Newspaper, I saw the notice while visiting my son. It's been a loooong time since kindergarten in 1945 and a brand new school. The neighborhoods were quite new, but look much the same today. I remember the fun and good times, but have forgotten most names but remember Shelia for one. Sister Veronica is an outstanding memory. Still have holy cards that were given for homework in her class. Did Mary Caroline Bock go to school there? She was our next door neighbor, but a couple years older. Does anyone remember the dog at the rectory. The Sisters were a fun loving group. After 3 years we moved to Glen Lake and IHM, another brand new school. This year I am working on the 50th Reunion of Anoka High School, yet another first time student in a new building. Best wishes on the grand event. Karen

the shepherd was Father Brady's, who remembers the dogs name?

Reading all these messages sure brings back a lot of memories. I graduated 8th grade in 1954 and started MHT in first grade so it's been a long time since I walked down that memory road. I remember Father Brady and Father Tom at the parish. Sister Leeann too, who was truly a gentle soul. I remember the year that Eisenhower ran for office and how our class divided down political lines....good stuff. Hope to be able to come for a walk down memory lane.

I am hoping to still get to go. Haven't sent my money in. Saw all the postings from you guys from the class of 59'. Are any of the girls coming? Molly-you left me a message but then your message fell off my cell before I got a chance to call you back. Do you know who all is coming. I am looking forward to it. You boys sound the same as ever. Wish this website had our class pictures on it. Need to be reminded what we all looked like. Should be fun. See you there. Georgene

Hi Georgene, Well now that makes 5 of us, Jenny Burns came to the 50th class reunion last summer with her sister Beth, so hope she'll be there, she looked great! you wouldn't need a picture to recognize Jenny. Eileen Connor moved some years ago, last I talked to her. I'll call Bob Baltes soon, and see if I can help. It will be fun to see ya. I'm sure you can still send in your money. Greg

Hi Georgene, Greg, Bill,Bob,John and anyone else from our class after reading all the fun postings decided maybe I should go. Should be fun....
Connie Salzer left me a message that she also will be coming. It will be fun seeing all of you. Molly

Hi Molly, That makes seven with Connie, I think the class had 30 total. So lets all call classmates, the school has most of the mumbers, I think there's a e-mail address in here some place that would help. bet we can get it over 50%, and your right it will be a "hoot". Greg

I remember those good ole day's.I remember breaking Father Brady's window's in his house a few times playing softball. Tearing holes in my new slacks on the asphalt which drove my mother crazy. Making butter, I believe was in the 3rd grade. My most trying grade was the 5th as I don't know if any of my classmates knew, but Sister Yvonne's last name was Bechtold as she was my Aunt on my fathers side. She kept me after school many,many times to try and make me smarter,but it didn't really help. She did teach me the responces so I could become an alterboy which I really enjoyed doing for 4yrs. I won't be able to make the reunion. Would LOVE to hear from classmates.Email jjretao1982@yahoo.com

hey guys. This should be fun. Glad you are coming Molly. I haven't seen most of these people since grade school. Most of the girls went off to Holy Angels and I went to Park and our lives separated. Greg, don't you think Ginny Burns will come if she came to Beth's reunion. She was a good friend but I have no idea how to get a hold of her. We women lose our maiden names after we marry so it is hard to find us. So if you have any emails or phone numbers I will be glad to call or write. Also I won't be at dinner but will pay the 20$ to get in. I think it's too late for dinner. Maybe I can talk you guys into Park Tavern afterwards.I am excited!!Greg,I am still wondering what the dogs name was!I remember him though. Georgene

Hi Georgene, I do hope Jenny does come again, we were the only "outcasts there" and it was fun catching-up! If she comes that will make 8. I have just about all our classmates phone numbers including Jenny's. The name and address list I have came from a Steve Skaemer @ skraemer415@msn.com he's in ( or was in) the Parish and was helping the principal make a alumni list back in 5/22/06. E-mail me and I'll give ya phone numbers, or maybe Steve has a updated list? We had 12 boys and 18 girls in our class ( I think) gamluxen@earthlink.net good to hear from ya Georgene !! Greg

Kathy Dovenberg McGraw and Mike McGraw will be there. We have no excuses we live right in the neighborhood, just a few blocks from MHT. According to the message board, we will see some of our classmates from "55". It will be fun to catch up. See you there.

Actually Kevin Simeon, it was a Hail Mary when you hear a siren. I still do it today. We will miss you. You are a big part of quite a few of those fun stories.

Greg I will email you but first of all we need to know how many people Molly got a hold of and if she has current list. SO MOLLY-who all did you call and are there any more to call. Would love to see a good turnout. How many people did you not have phone numbers for? Then we will know for sure they won't be there if they don't even know about it. so Molly please respond here or call me. thanks-can hardly wait to see you all. Georgene

Georgene, same ? for Bob, as I think he also was calling, see Bill's reply. Greg
