Kudos to Art Repovich who stepped in as photographer while Terry O'Brien took his wife on an Anniversary Cruise! An amazing thirteen Cadets were present and accounted for—including Rich Schwan, who traveled all the way from the wilds of Tennessee!. Mustered were Dr. Dick Doyle, Otto Etzel, John Layton, John May, John Merker, Charlie Monfort, Frank Pellegrini, Art Repovich, Rich Schwan, Tony Tumminello, Jim Vogelsang, Jeff Wiener and Pete Zimmerman.

It's a good day for Charlie—he made Otto very happy (see next)

Charlie informed Otto that "Etzel" was a royal house— in the fifth century, Attila reigned as consort king with Theodoric over the Huns using the name "Etzel".

Jim Vogelsang, a historian, confirmed this.

And Rich Schwan drove all the way from the Tennessee wilderness to be with us!

A great shot of the Fab Four (even though Frank is looking a bit magisterial!)

And because Charlie made Otto's day, Val rewards him with a photo-op.

Not sure why Layton got into this picture—because he's a happy-looking guy?

And Jim asks, "What about me? Can't I have a picture taken too?'
CBC Class of 1958 Lunch—June 11, 2024
Nobody can ever predict who might attend our lunches, and sometimes there are delightful surprises. Deacon Tim Dolan returns, recovering from his recent illness, and our lunch was graced with not only Jeff wiener's presence, but also that of his wife, Bev, granddaughter Katie and Jeff's twin great-grandkids, Kurtis and Kiera! Add to that Charlie Monfort, Terry O'Brien, Frank Pellegrini, Art Repovich, Tony Tuminello, and Jeff Wiener, with a cameo by the CBCHS Class of 1951 Lunch Bunch, and a Full House is the result.
