• Confirmation, 3
May 1994, Immanuel Lutheran Church Gaylord, MN. 1
Actually snowed the morning of confirmation, but not too much. 8
confirmands for class, a somewhat small number. For years in Sunday
School, it was Michael and three girls, but the Christian day school
had 3 boys and a girl so things were evenly split on gender.
Remember at examination few days prior a story that Pastor Helmer had
told us about a young gentleman and his confirmation some roughly 60
years prior. He told of this individual having to clean out barns and
other farm chores, such as helping his father with the spring planting,
which he had to do before he went to his examination. About halfway
into his story I had an inkling of who this person could be, and sure
enough he when he asked just me who I thought this was, I answered 'My
Grandpa' - Roy Ruehling.
• Religion:
Lutheran: Immanuel Lutheran Church Gaylord, MN. 1
• Graduation:
Sibley East High School, 7 Jun 1998, Arlington, MN. 1 Nothing too exciting, basically
a hot, muggy June day in a small crowded school gym. Little over a
hundred graduates, typical for the Sibley East School District.
Chose not to wear traditional or formal wear under gown. Grey Pepsi
T-shirt, Black Couderoy Jeans and Cowboy Boots.
• College
Graduation: MSU, Mankato, 12 May 2002, Mankato, MN. 1 Michael graduated from Minnesota
State University, Mankato,MN with a Bachelor of Science Degree in
Mechanical Engineering. The ceremony was held at the Midwest Wireless
Center in Mankato,MN. Due to popularity of the name Michael some 22
years previously, Michael took part in a procession of 4 Michael's who
were earning engineer degrees that day. Three for Mechanical and one
for Electrical. This graduation marked the first college graduation for
anyone in Michael's immediate family.
Extremely rainy day, good thing ceremony was held indoors, despite a 4
hour ceremony.
