Hello Alexander Ramsey Class of '79!
We hope you're enjoying the start of the holiday season! We wanted to let everyone know that, while we’re always thinking about our next get-together or our 50th reunion in 2029, there are no official activities or events planned for December. The reunion committee is taking a short break to recharge, but rest assured, we're already looking ahead to exciting things in the new year.
We encourage you all to enjoy the holidays with family and friends, and we’ll be in touch soon with more updates and plans for future events. Until then, take care, stay safe, and make the most of this festive time of year!
As we step into the new year, we hope to kick things off with monthly events that will bring us together to reminisce, reconnect, and enjoy each other’s company. To make these events truly memorable, we’d love to hear your suggestions on the types of gatherings you’d like to see. Whether it’s casual meet-ups, themed celebrations, or activities that highlight the best of our shared experiences, your input will help shape what’s next.
Please share your ideas with us—this is your reunion experience, and we want to make sure it reflects the interests and desires of our incredible class. We look forward to planning some great events and continuing the fun in 2025. Until then, stay well, enjoy the season, and keep those creative ideas coming!
With our warmest regards,
The reunion committee
Let’s raise a glass to the Class of ’79! Join us for a fun and festive Holiday Bar Meet-Up on Saturday, January 11th, starting at 1:00 PM at the Roseville VFW, 1145 Woodhill Drive. It’s the perfect chance to catch up, share some laughs, and toast to old friends. Don’t miss the good cheer—see you there!
Introducing Thekla Fagerlie-Madsen's new short story.
My short story "A Cozy Deception" is included in the Twin Cities Sisters in Crime anthology now out (and available on Amazon)! Join us at Once Upon A Crime bookstore in Minneapolis on Saturday, December 7 from 1-3 p.m. and meet the authors. This would make a great stocking stuffer for the reader on your holiday list!
Our former classmate Cathryn Michon would love to introduce us to her new book
From Cathryn Michon......
Cathryn writes "I am doing a special promotion with Red Balloon Books for my upcoming book, "I'm Still Here: A Dog's Purpose Forever." The special promotion is for signed bookplates that will be signed by me, my husband A Dog's Purpose author W. Bruce Cameron and our dog Tucker (pawprint) who is on the cover!. It's a companion gift book to the original A Dog's Purpose told from the point of view of an Angel Dog who wants you to know he's still here, but also he's over the rainbow bridge, with all the people and animals you've loved. It's already a bestseller".
A special Note......
"Danny Schmitz told me that Red Balloon was founded by Paul Erdahl's (Ramsey class of 78) mom, which is fun. The promotion is all across America and Canada with 46 stores, but I was happy that one of them was in my hometown. :)"
