Some people save lives every day -- doctors, nurses, EMT's, police officers, and firefighters. Yesterday, as we were finishing our blood drive at the fire station, they received a "call". It was fascinating to watch as the crew arrived, methodically putting on their gear, and then leaving in the truck. It looked like just another day at the office. It wasn't nearly as exciting as they show on television! Then I realized they spend hours and hours training, so this is fast and efficient. It is not supposed to be exciting. To all of you who routinely save our lives, thank you.
The blood drive was a big success. We had 39 people attempt to donate, and we collected 34 units of blood. That is at least a five-year record for our Rotary Club. Thank you to everyone who participated -- the donors, the donors who tried but couldn't, and the volunteers. We are helping to save lives too. Each of you should feel proud knowing that 102 people are going to benefit from what we did yesterday.
Before Clyde was a Curator, he was a Collector. He started with the Twins’ first game as a franchise at Met Stadium in 1961. Then as Paul Harvey would say, “Here’s the rest of the story”. As a teacher and coach, he was given a season pass to the 1966 MN Twins and after saying a simple “Thank You” to Cal Griffith, Griffith moved his season pass ticket to his family box. Where he watched the games from 1966 – 1981.
Clyde shared that his collection started to really grow in 1981 when the MET Stadium was being torn down and for 34 nights he went through boxes of items that were scheduled to be torn out. He accumulated many items during this time. Today you can see parts of his collection neatly displayed in glass cases at nearly every turn in Target Field.
Clyde shared with us some of the Twins Jerseys and shared some of the steps on how he authenticates his items.
Statement from Clyde: “It isn’t about money, it isn’t about me,” he said. “It’s about collecting the game for the fans to see and enjoy long after I’m gone.
