October plans for your calendar
The "LHS Gals Brunch Bunch" will gather at Marisco's (SE corner of 6th & Waukarusa) on the 2nd Tuesday (October 11) at 10 a.m.
The "LHS Gals Dinner Crew" will gather at Zen Zero (811 Mass) on Monday, October 24th at 5:30 p.m. We usually meet on the last Monday, but I know that you all will be wearing your costumes and going trick or treating that night. :-)
We had such a nice visit at Debbie Beene' s home this month. Thank you Debbie for having us; everything was lovely!
If any of you have a suggestion of where to meet, please let me know. I grab at any suggestion that is made because I enjoy being with you and our visits. With the coming of the holidays and bad weather, our gatherings will probably be more sparse and "iffy", so I hope you can join us now. All my best to you all! – Sherri

Photos from our 50th Reunion

Thanks to the following for sending their photos: Fred and Elodia Adamson, Janet Burnett Huchingson, Marilyn Chamney Lee, Alan and Janet Hardtarfer, John and Rosemary Hamilton Hines, Ida Johnson Jeppersen, Barbara Ludvicek Penning, Nancy Miller Reiling, Katy Wright Young and Kathy Harley (Mary Helen Dorsey Bashlor's sister).

The official reunion photos are available. Large-format photos to copy are available along with a key to identify who's who in the photos. HERE for the key to who's who and a link to larger photos.
Eighty-four classmates are shown in the above photos — too many for one photo!
Reunion Items made to order
Kay (Melva) Franz Hodge designed and constructed many items for the class of 1959 including photo albums, photo frames and caps. The items were such a success that she thought other classes might like items made for their reunions. She sends the following message:
