LHS Class of 1961 65th Reunion
Our 65th reunion on June 13, 2026 was a doozy! Lots of classmates, talk, laughs, photos, food and fun! Lee's looked like the days of old with knotty pine walls, red tiled floors and tables decorated with red and black linens and the commemorative mugs. Our vintage 24 ft. banner from past events was hung up once more. Overheard were folks asking about the next reunion! Do ya think?
