dear, Judy. Her wonderful smile was there for everyone. We had a wonderful lunch and conversation on one of my visits to Mpls. Our enthusiasm as sales people was so similar...whether jewelry(in Judy's case) or Mil$ homes in my case....we bonded! She was wonderfully fun!!!
A Happy Birthday to you. I rarely think of my age..and am 1 yr older than you. I often compare myself to my Mom. Terrific example for me. She lived well for 99years. A good challenge everyday! Have a nice day! Fondly,Mary
An early Birthday greeting to you, Janet. It was just great to see you at RH Roof Top last May. Everyone seemed to be doing well. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Time passes too quickly, a blink of an eye. It would be great if we could relive our good times but we can't, so I wish you the best.
I rember dancing with you, one of my first dances, when we were only aboout 15 or 16 years old. Time passes so quickly and we scatter to the wind. I seem to recall that you lived on the 3200 block of Webster Ave. I live on the iron range in northern MN and was a lawyer for 49 years. A stroke ended my practice short of my goal of 50 years. Enough of my prattle. I wish you had a happy birthday. David Stall
Dan Geldert Concert, 3pm, Sept 29,2024 at Mika HS -
Dan Geldert Concert, 3pm, More…
After 62 years on the podium (600+ concerts, 20,000+ rehearsals) I have decided to pull the curtain. On September 29th, 3pm, at Minnetonka High School, I will conduct my final concert in Minnetonka. It would be really special to see a bunch of that great class of '58 in the audience for this one. I'm calling it, "Finale...Once More With Feeling " Hope to see you there. The shy kid....until I get on the podium. Dan
Happy Birthday to you. I can still see you in band playing your saxophone. Right? Always a girl with a great smile!
Lowell was a good friend from Band. He played trumpet and a buddy of fellow trumpeter, Bob Ericksen. Lowell's Mom was a favorite substitute teacher. I knew Lowell at St Olaf College and later I met his beautiful daughter at St Mark Lutheran in Salem. May you RIP, Lowell.

Glenn and I became the best of friends from about ages of 9 or 10, when he and his brother Russell moved into our neighborhood. His house was on Minnetonka Boulevard just beyond the Y intersection, where Lake Street and Minnetonka Blvd. split. The Pastime Arena was directly behind his home. and he lived directly across the street from the Jarosaks, where our classmate Vern and his 5 brothers lived.
Glenn and I spent countless hours together, biking, playing games, exchanging stories, planning our futures, hiking in the woods and doing all the things kids did in the late forties and fifties. He built a treehouse in the woods behind his house, and we smoked our first cigarettes together there! Ugh. I would often go over to his house and play chess with his brother, who was smart as a whip and would usually win our games. Glenn didn't play chess, but he was so proud of his brother and would watch us play and loved it when Russ checkmated me.
We both took up the trombone together and both played in the band throughout high school. As it turned out, he took it more seriously than I did, and it became the basis for his later career in music, which was distinguished. We also enjoyed amateur radio got our ham licenses about the same time, along with Tommy Martin, another classmate who lived in the neighborhood.
Over the years our paths diverged. But we always stayed in touch and when, on occasion, we would see each other at reunions, all the memories of our childhoods together once again would come to the surface. We always enjoyed reminiscing.about those times.
in retirement, we both established homes in Arizona; Glenn on a permanent basis, I only parttime. But in the last few years we usually found time to squeeze in a round of golf together once every year or two.
Glenn was a cherished and dear friend to me and to so many others. I was shocked when I learned of his passing. I will miss him greatly. My deepest condolences to Marian.
RIP, Glenn, my dearly loved buddy.
