Welcome to the LFHS Class of '68 Website

Introduction

The LFHS Class of ’68 Website (“Website”) is a documentary of our time prior to, during and after LFHS.

If you hover over the Contents button above you’ll find links to “Sections” of our documentary that provide naratives, images and more that help tell our story.

The following snippets provide a brief overview of what you’ll find as well as links to these Sections. But first, let’s find out what’s going on with our 55th Reunion…

Our 55th Reunion Weekend

Tour of LFHS

You should see how spoiled LFHS students are now – If I had access to these resources back in the day, I’d still be a D- student – Just ask Jeanine Elya (lol)…

Gorton Community Center

05:00PM to 10:00PM

Previous educational home to 113 of our classmates, we will be gathering in the Stuart Room w/in Gorton for fun and merriment, listening and singing to great music, dancing a little less than we did at our 50th and raffling off some great loot…

Sunday, October 1st

Northcroft Park

10:00AM to 04:00PM

Come join us for a Family (kids including the grand ones) brunch, lunch, cookout with plenty of space to romp around, compete and lay down to recuperate all those mucles you’ve just pulled…

Please go to the “55th Reunion Section” for complete event details and if any of the attendance information above is incorrect, please let us know via the Contact Form below.

Finally...

We know it gets more and more difficult to commit to an outside event as we get older – Things happen, Life happens…

Bottom line, if at the spur of the moment, you feel like joining us at any stage of our 55th Reunion, please do so, the doors will always be open.

Sincerely,

Your 55th Reunion Committe

Margaret Henrich, Gail Devlin (Teague), Bob Walther, Dave Johnson
