Bits 'n Pieces

Many of you may remember Marilyn Chamney Lee's family home and dairy farm west of KU. Family members came together this past week (Oct. 10-15, 2010) for a reunion at the old dairy farmstead, which was acquired by the Kansas University Endowment in 1963. HERE for the LJW article and videos.

A look at LHS today: A video class at LHS made this "LHS Winter Court Lip Dub". Though the music may not be familiar this is a wonderful opportunity to see what the interior of LHS is like today. Only some scenes outside the windows look familiar. Go to http://www.youtube.com/

January plans with help from Judy!

Edited Message from Judy Demos Crossfield!
Seems forever since we had a dinner meeting of more than three, so what about Jan. 20 (Martin Luther King Day). We do have a home game, but it is not until 8 p.m. Henry T’s? 1/2 price burgers?

Sounds good to me! So, Judy and I will be at Henry T’s on Jan. 20 at 5:30 pm … we’ll hope that some of you can join us!! :-) I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! — Sherri

Reunion Items made to order

cap

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:

Are you looking for a way to make your next reunion more memorable? Contact Kay Hodge for those special items with your graduation and reunion dates on them. You can select from many, many items for your graduates to pick from. Give me a call or send an email and see about making your next reunion special. — Kay Hodge , 851 E. 300 Rd., Overbrook, KS 66524, 785-748-0939, kyblhodge@yahoo.com.
