SAVE THE DATE!! The Edison Class of 1983 is planning our 40th (how can that be? We're not that old!) reunion for this fall. We'll be celebrating at Elsie's on September 30 and we want ALL of our classmates to be there! We are currently gathering updated addresses and emails for our classmates, so are requesting help in spreading the word. Contact info can be emailed to: [email protected].

The celebration of life for Keith Brenny will be held Monday, October 24th at the Washburn-McReavy chapel, Hillside Cemetery at 2610 19th Ave NE, Minneapolis. The visitation is at 2:00, followed by the service at 3:00. A gathering will be held after the service in the community room of the cemetery.

We have learned that another classmate, Keith Brenny, has left us way too soon. We will post additional information and funeral arrangements when available.

Drink beer, raise money. Works for me. Indeed is the place to be on Wednesday, October 12th. 😁

Probably should have taken PTO for Monday too...
