Last Call

This will be the last week of

Corde' Perfusion LLC.

Bruce, Sandy, Mike & Dave, had

a good run for eleven years together.

I always thought that it really was a

miracle, that a small business like theirs

could make a go of it.

Now, those days have come to an end.

Well done.

Very well done.

38 Years & Counting

In good times and in bad. Check.

For richer or poorer. Check.

In sickness and in health. Check.

Our anniversary coincides with Dave's

retirement from a career that he loved.

I came in for a lot of criticism, because

'you didn't have to work.'

In truth, I would have preferred to work

outside the home. Work was hardwired into

me, after all, but we don't always get what

we want. 

Ye olde ball and chain, were always those 

three little words, 'I'm on call.'

The silver lining is this-

a lot of lives were saved, because he could

pick up and go at any hour of the day or night.

And yes, I would do it all again.

Edina-Morningside Nursery School

The scene of many happy memories.

All of our children went to this school, ages 3-5 or 6.

It was a short distance from our house and it was easy

for me to imagine that it was in a small town-like

Moose lake, Minnesota, where my Tomczak grand-

parents lived.

I was fortunate to know the feel of a small town and

feel a nostalgic pull always.

It was not a 'crack the whip' kind of school. Rather, it 

felt like a throwback to the 1950's and Mr. Rogers-like.

Yes, the scene of many happy memories.
