Summary of the night
What happens at the 20 Year Reunion and related events, stays at the Reunion and said events. In the famous words of Josh Roering, we “burnt that mother f#$%er down”. Nearly 170 folks came back to let it ride. And I must say, our class looked pretty damn good. Particularly for pushing 40. Lots of laughs, smiles and general catch-up took place. Great music and outstanding ambiance. It was amazing how many folks attended their first reunion ever. Very cool. At the heat of the Reunion, when drinks were being thrown back like we were at The Pit in Vadnais Heights, there were some nervous looking folks when St. Paul’s finest showed up. Concern was alleviated when we saw it was our own Len Manning on the beat. A nice surprise. After wrapping up things at the 317, a group of about 40 folks went to Patrick McGovern’s to close that place down. The 2 bartenders and 8 folks at the bar before us still have no idea what the hell hit them. In conclusion, we are 5 years older, but in good shape. And at least for a weekend, we can let it ride like we were 18 again. Of course recovery time is slightly extended to nearly a week. See you in 5 years or less for another Epic evening.

Last but Not Least
I wanted to pass along a quick email from Arnie Angeloni who was unable to make it. I thought it hit the nail on the head. A huge thanks to folks like him, Bobi Le and everyone else protecting our country today in the military. True heroes of the MV Class of 1990.
A good part of me regrets that I will not be attending this bodacious event….for I have taken leave to visit my Northwoods stomping ground twice this summer already. I have fond memories of my Mounds View days, and can picture everyone in our class, as they were, the day we graduated. Talk about trends changing. We were crazy. I hope the reunion is a hit, and all of you have an awesome time catching up, and reminiscing of the days of old. I will be with you in spirit. Have fun, be safe. As we say in the Navy, I wish you “Fair Winds, and Following Seas”. – Arnie
