Class of '56 Celebrates its 50th
Alois Sandner
MOSAIC, Winter 2007
 
Warmed by memories stirred by photos from the 1956 graduation issue of the Gothic and mellowed by the wines of Chateau Chantal, members of the Sacred Heart Seminary graduation class of 1956 (and the ordination class of 1960) celebrated their fiftieth anniversary on an island between Michigan and Canada.

Twenty classmates and friends traveled from Florida, Traverse City, Jackson, Lansing and Canada to Russell Island in the middle of the St. Clair River where giant freighters appeared to pass within arms length of host Fr. Larry Jackson's cottage, formerly known as the Ave Maria Club. They joked, laughed and reminisced as they shared a meal that featured walleye caught within sight of their dinner table. The fish was courtesy of Father Jackson; the wine courtesy of vintner Bob Begin and his Chateau Chantal winery on Old Mission Peninsula north of Traverse City.

And on the short ferry ride back to Marine City, some wondered: could it possibly be June 26, 2006, already?
