Ron E. Bauers died peacefully March 6, 2019, with his family by his side. He had been ill for several years but never complained as his disease progressed. He was 76. Click here for his "In Memory" page. Below is a slide show showing Ron with many classmates over the years. He was kind to all and always full of fun. He will be greatly missed. 

All classmates are invited to gather next Wednesday, March 13, 6-8 pm, at Mulligans (same date and time as the Guy's Dinner) to honor and remember Ron. His final wishes were to have no funeral, but "go to a bar, have a drink and remember good times."  So let's celebrate Ron's life doing just that. Drinks and food on your own. We hope to see you Wednesday!

Mulligan's is at 56th and Old Cheney, behind the Racquet Club at the west end of the strip mall containing Four Star Drug & Capital Patio & Flame Shop.

Click here for a Washington Post article with some surprising outcomes about dementia. Many of you reconnected to the study sponsors at our 50th reunion, and also may have received a follow-up questionnaire. If you haven't returned it, they still want your opinions.  Contact Project Talent for details.

Lincoln High Receives National Honor

As School of Opportunity!

"Lincoln High School is one of eight U.S. public high schools honored as a “School of Opportunity” by the National Education Policy Center. The honor merited a mention in a Washington Post education blog “Answer Sheet,” which has published the winners of the project for several years and which notes that the project recognizes public high schools that work to close opportunity gaps by “creating learning environments that reach every student.”
