Tom Quinlan to Speak at Fall Chapter Meeting

Tom Quinlan will be the featured guest at the Halsey Hall Chapter Fall Meeting on Saturday, October 17. A hockey and baseball star at Hill-Murray High School in Maplewood, Quinlan was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays as well as by the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League. He signed with the Blue Jays and later played in parts of two seasons with them as well as with the Philadelphia Phillies and Minnesota Twins.

The chapter meeting will be at the Grace University Lutheran Church, 324 Harvard Street SE, Minneapolis, 612-331-0125. Parking is in lot AA, across Harvard Street from the church.

Attendees can head over to the Kevin Hennessy home (608 Grand Avenue, St. Paul 55102, 651-651-492-2298) after the meeting to watch the playoffs on television.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. with the opening ceremonies at 9:00. Tom Quinlan will be on next, followed by research presentations, which will take place before and after lunch. Four research presentations have been scheduled:

  • Bob Tholkes on the New York Sunday Mercury

Jeff Roberts is a software engineer who moved to Minneapolis after growing up in Grand Forks and Fargo.

Jeff became a baseball fan and got hooked by the first game he watched, one of Dave Stieb’s consecutive one-hitters that were broken up with two out in the ninth, in 1988. The first game he attended was at the Metrodome on August 23, 1992. “Not a historically significant game,” he says, “but it might have been one of Lenny Webster’s top games”.

Jeff shares his June 6 birthday with fellow member Dean Schmitz as well as Brooks Kieschnick, Bill Davis, Bud Harrelson, Bill Dickey, Fresco Thompson, and Bjorn Borg.
