Anticipation

This has been a week of anticipation for me. Months of planning for the 50th reunion of my junior college class is about to come to fruition this Saturday and Sunday as we gather in Oconomowoc WI.

Concordia Milwaukee's Class of 1959 numbered 62. Ten members of the Class of 1959 have died. We were not able to locate two others. Of the remaining 50, 28 will gather to remember and reminisce and give thanks for all these years of friendship that began on the campus of Concordia High School and College in Milwaukee.

Saturday, June 27, will also mark the 44th anniversary of my ordination to the Office of the Public Ministry of the Church.

This will be a great weekend of remembering and gratitude.
