OCTOBER 2011 NEWSLETTER
TO: CLASSMATES AND SPOUSES OF THE LHS CLASS OF 1952

This newsletter has been delayed in order for our planning committee to get our 60th Reunion underway.  The original plan was to have the reunion September of 2012.  We are moving it up to the first weekend of May so that Joane Manney Wyrick will be able to attend. We are losing Joane, the backbone of all our planning, to Florida next June. She is moving there to be near her daughter.
