Our 2024 LUNCHEON WAS A SUCCESS

Our Sept 4th, 2024 luncheon at the Lost Spur Golf Course in Eagan was once again a success with 43 in attendance.  The weather gave us a perfect September day.  Everyone was talking & smiling.  The buffet was excellent & my plate was full.  There was plenty of time to socialise before & after.  A big thanks goes out to the Lost Spur.         

Another big thank you goes to our luncheon committee.  Lou Reich Shaney is our luncheon chair who coordinates the overall luncheon plans.  Barb Phillips Nordstrom updates the luncheon "In Memory" boards for display at our luncheon.  Barb also does our name tags. Bruce Backler handles the check book & bank deposits.  Jim Carlson is the luncheon MC & handles the administrative tasks on our alumni website.  Sadly, we lost a fellow comittee member Connie Uphoff Wolky thus year. 

The "Memory Boards" were set up in front with all the names of our classmates who have passed away along with their class photo & obituary (if known).  Mike Harrison updates the "In Memory" part of our RHS 1960 alumni web page.  Thank you Mike!

Classmate Ross Nelson of Nelson's Apple Farm in Webster, Mn (just south of Lakeville) handed out a just picked Sweet Tango apple to all in attendance.  Nelson Apple Farms, 3010 Douglas, Webster, Mn. opens this Sat September 7th.  Take the Elko New Market Exit off of I35 South.  Great apples & with a great time.

The Roosevelt Foundation has a website, click on http://roosevelthighfoundation.org/  .   

The purpose of the Minneapolis Theodore Roosevelt High School Foundation is to help Roosevelt students.

Besides donations, they have two fund raisers with a fall Golf Tournament & a spring Pancake Breakfast.

The foundation also administers the Roosevelt Hall of Fame for classes of all years.  A HOF Banquet is held every two years honoring the accomplishments of a new class of RHS alumni. The 2022 banquet was November 5th at Roosevelt High School.  

Our RHS class of 1960 did not have a member in the RHS HOF.  That changed as Dr. Patrick Lilja was inducted November 5th, 2022.  Pat has been associated with North Memorial Hospital for over 40 years since graduating from the University of Minnesota Medical School.  Pat was involved in the early years of EMS, emergency medical services, in Minnesota at North Memorial Hospital.  North Memorial has renamed their emergency training center in Brooklyn Park to the "G. Patrick Lilja EMS Training Center".  And they have named Pat, "The Father Of Emergency Medicine in Minnesota".
