A few girls from the class of 1965 got together at Olive Garden on October 15, 2026 for a mini-reunion. They sent a photo to share!
We have a number of classmates for whom we do not have current contact information. In order for us to let everyone know about reunions, special requests or any other communications we need to have current information. So take a moment and use the Address Update Form (in the menu) and update yours.
We ARE searching for people who do not have contact information. This is a difficult search especially for women who use their married names or for common names.
There is a list of people who are considered “lost” also in the menu. If you want to help, see if you can use your web search skills to find one of those folks. It sometimes helps if you have full names (first, middle and last) and the contact information we have on file. Just use the Contact item in the menu to send me a note and I will get back to you with the info.
Currently, I am searching for several people. So far, I have no responses in my attempts to contact them. But I believe I am getting closer. Due to the cost of sending USPS letters and the potential for the letters to be undelivered or delivered to the wrong person, using USPS is not a good option. Email, Facebook and phone are the cheapest and quickest way to contact people. Below are some (not all) of the people I am searching for. In future posts I will highlight a few more.
Susan Louise Mitchell. I have some information that says that Susan has passed away. The same lead says her married name was Kirkpatrick and that she lived in Tucson, AZ. The lead indicate her sons are Cyrus Kirkpatrick and Zephan Kirkpatrick. My attempts to contact both Cyrus and Zephan were unsuccessful. I continue to follow this lead. I hope that Susan has not passed away and we are able to locate her. Oh… just to let you know I found a Susan Louise Mitchell who graduated in 1965! I actually talked to her. But… she graduated from Springfield High School not LEHS. She wished me good luck in my continued search.
Muriel Ann Cammett. I have some limited information that says Muriel’s married name is Mailloux and she is / was living in Wakefield, MA. I also have information that says her sister, Diane, a LEHS67 graduate passed in 2020. So far, my attempts to contact Muriel have been unsuccessful.
Robert John Abate. I found him on Facebook but it appears he doesn’t use Facebook very often as there aren’t any recent posts. I left a Facebook message for him and have tried to contact some of his Facebook friends unsuccessfully.
Paul Leonard Adrien. I also found Paul on Facebook and believe I have an address for him. I also have tried contacting him through Facebook friends to no avail.
Stephen Ernest Beatrice. I believe he is now living in Peru, Maine. Unfortunately, all my attempts to contact him don’t seem to work.
Joyce Lee Nagle. I believe Joyce is living in Gloucester, MA but again my attempts to contact her also have failed. Yes she does have a Facebook page but it hasn’t been used in about 4 years.
Marie Carole Manchini. Married name McCormack. I believe she lives in Lynn and has a Facebook page that got updated a few months ago. But so far, I haven’t heard from her.
It is with great sadness that we report the addition of Linda (Ladd) Murray to our Memorial List. She passed in May, 2026. May she rest in peace and paradise.
We also regret to report that Carole (Buzzell) Young is also being added to our Memorial List. Carole passed in 1995. May she also rest in peace and paradise.

It is with great sadness that we report the following additions to the class of 1965 Memorial List. We have added their yearbook photos to the list and we hope you take a few minutes to visit the list and view the photos. Please visit the memorial list by clicking HERE.
Right now, we know of 158 members of our class who have passed away. There may be more members who are no longer with us but we have lost touch with, and haven’t been able to find, many of our fellow classmates. The search for lost classmates will continue.
May our classmates who have left this earth too soon rest in peace and paradise. They are:
Kevin Buchanan 2026
Barbara Hewson 2023
Deborah McCulley 2025
William Nelson 2026
Nancy Newbury 2025
William Noonan 2021
Stephen Noone 2026

Ian Brown was the recipient of our $6,000 scholarship (in honor of our 60th Anniversary of our graduation). We had 7 applicants. They were all very deserving students but Ian won us over with his very personal essay. Prior to the Awards Ceremony we had received $3,000 made in donations toward this year’s scholarship, we are hopeful to receive the remaining amount when classmates purchase their tickets.
Ian plans to attend Regis College and major in Nursing. He was ranked 32 in a class of 570. The classes are growing and getting much closer to our number of 632. He played Varsity Lacrosse for 4 years, was captain for 2 seasons; played Varsity football for 3 years; Varsity golf for his senior year & inducted into the National Honor Society for the 11th & 12th grades. In 2024 he was an Item All Star. He has worked the past 3 years at MarketBasket, then at Andy’s Breakfast & Lunch, also being a peer tutor in the guidance office after school mostly Spanish speaking all the while being on the honor roll sophomore year and high honor roll junior & senior year.
We wish Ian much success in college & in life. We thank Fred Bollen for taking the time to present our scholarship on Awards night to Ian.
Hope to see you on 9/18 at our 60th Reunion!!
