Good morning from Collegeville,
I was on the campus of Saint Cloud State University this week to meet with the marketing folks. After I graduated Upsala High in 1961, I attended the U of M Institute of Technology. I was not prepared and ended up with 4 incompletes at the end of the first quarter. Even the English Composition class was more than I could handle. I met with my advisor and signed up for the same four classes, but for a variety of reasons I had the same result. The truth is that I spent a lot of time drinking beer and playing pool. In the spring of 1965, I enrolled in St. Cloud State College and this time I signed up for four liberal arts classes, no more physics and geometry. I rented a room in the home of a woman who was taking care of her dying dad. This time around, I managed to get 2 A’s and 2 B’s. I still have the text book for the Art Appreciation class. I felt better for the effort and that summer I went back to work as a draftsman, since I was planning on getting married in August.
The APHC show this week is a live broadcast from the Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Special guests include folksinger Ellis and globetrotting pianist Radoslav Lorkovic’. The Royal Academy of Radio Actors, Tim Russell, Sue Scott and Fred Newman will star in a number of skits and Garrison will spin tales from Lake Wobegon. Last week he mentioned the Krebsbach Chev sign at the baseball park. Krebsbach Chevrolet used to be where Millstream Shops and Lofts is now in downtown St. Joseph.
