Good morning from Collegeville,

There are five of us Osberg brothers and of the five, without a doubt, I am the least talented when it comes to sports. Yet, tonight I get to be inducted into the Upsala Cardinal sports Hall of Fame along with the other members of the 1957 football team. That year no points were allowed by our defense. I got the phone call from John Atkinson last Friday, the same fellow that I have mentioned in the past when writing about my experience as a freshman. Trying to tackle John during practice was not fun. John ran hard with his knees pumping up and down. I clearly remember bouncing off of him with a ringing in my ears every time we practiced. In will be fun to meet classmates and upper classmen.

The APHC show this week is the first of the winter re-broadcasts. This show was from May of 2013 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. The Time Jumpers play “Six Pack to Go”. Suzy Bogguss sings “I Always Get Lucky With You” and Stuart Duncan joins the Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band for a medley of fiddle turns. In the News From Lake Wobegon it is time for the fishing opener and annual Willis Bunsen Grocery Run footrace.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and come short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end, the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt.
