MARCH NEWSLETTER - 2010
TO: CLASSMATES AND SPOUSES OF THE LHS CLASS OF 1952

Ah, spring at last. I thought the winter would never end. One day in February, 49 of the 50 states had snow on the ground. That one state was, of course, Hawaii. Opps, it was a spring like day when I started this newsletter last week. Today here in Lenexa we have 8 inches of new snow.

Since I have retired from life’s competition
Each day is filled with complete repetition
I get up each moming and dust off my wits,
Go pick up the paper and read the obits.
If my name isn’t there, I know I’m not dead,
I get a good breakfast and go back to bed.

Class Notes:

 • Beau Kansteiner, navy veteran, was one of the Grand Marshalls for the 3‘d annual Parade of Heros held at the Village West in Kansas City, KS. Beau served during the Korean and Vietnam wars. Beau was also honored for perfect attendance at the Leavenworth Rotary Club — 38 years and counting. During the club’s regular meeting, he was presented with the 4 Avenues of Service Citation. Congratulations, Beau!

• Classmates continue to support our treasury and we thank them for their generosity. Joan and Bob Atwell along with Jim Oliver have sent us funds.

• Donna Seeley Chapman is still at the NHC Health Care facility in St. Charles, MO. She has only the use of her right hand, but is online at dschapman34@yahoo.com. She would love to hear from you.

The Leavenworth Country Club has fallen on hard times and closed the dining room. For our next class dinner, Joane Manney Wyrick has graciously invited classmates to her home located in Lansing, Ks. We will meet on Friday, April 23, for hamburgers and more. Social Hour will be 6:00 PM with dinner at 7:00 PM. Cost: $5.00 per person. Mark your calendar.
