OPPORTUNITY TO ASSIST LEHS JUNIOR ROTC
Please see the attached letter below submitted by one of our classmates and take this opportunity to consider making a personal donation to this worthy cause. These “kids” work really hard to compete and more often than not win their drill competitions. If you’ve ever seen them perform, they are amazing. ROTC was very instrumental in making our tour of LEHS in conjunction with our 50th reunion a success under the direction of Sargeant Major Oswald. Many of the kids come from some very tough/poor homes and ROTC teaches them responsibility and respect, their grades improve and most go on to pursue a higher education after high school. Any donation would be greatly appreciated.
Checks should be made payable to: Lynn English MCJROTC & mailed to:
Lynn English High School
ATTN: MCJROTC ( Sargeant Major Oswald)
50 Goodridge Street
Lynn, MA 01902
Thank you for your consideration.
They turned 70, and still looking Good!
16 ladies from the LEHS class of 1965 had a lovely lunch at the 1606 Restaurant inside the Beauport Hotel on Friday 6/15/18. These ladies all turned 70 in either 2017 or 2018 and it was time to celebrate. A good time was had by all!
Request for information
Bob Maleszyk sent the following request which he received from the LEHS guidance department.
I have been in contact with Matt Wilkins and have verified that this is not a scam. It is to create a new Alumni directory book. Matt asks that we post this on our class website. This info is requested soon (7 days from yesterday).
Oh…. the cost of the book will probably be in excess of $300! It will be useful to Alumni associations but not very useful to individuals (especially because of the cost). This company is also sending out post cards and making calls to verify information.
I have already let people know via Facebook.

LEHS Awards Night — Wednesday, May 31, 2017
Our Class was once again able to give two $1,000 scholarships this year thanks to some generous donations this spring. Thanks to Alan McGrath for volunteering to present our scholarships at the LEHS Award’s Night. The Committee decided to give a scholarship to ROTC students since so many gave their time entertaining us and leading us touring the school the day after our 50th reunion on 9/12/15.
The two recipients of our scholarships are Marlene Rivera and Betsy Rodas Escobar.
Marlene ranks 23rd out of a class of 339 and is on the National Honor Society. She plans to attend UMass Amherst where she will pursue pre-medical studies. She attained the rank of Cadet Colonel while holding the billet of Cadet Commander. She is a member of the Lynn English MCJROTC Lady Bulldogs Drill Team which has performed and earned many awards at local, city, state and national competitions.
Betsy ranks 70th out of the class and has been on the honor roll since the 10th grade. She plans to attend Emmanuel College to pursue neuroscience. She has been the lead coordinator for the LEHS American Red Cross Blood Drive for the past two years which has been a huge success.
In addition to their individual accomplishments, they each have a mile-long list of events they have volunteered for over the past years all the while putting in hundreds of hours in the ROTC program. Marlene and Betsy have both worked very hard, and we wish them much success in their future endeavors!
Alan was most impressed with both young ladies shown in photos below with the famous “Bulldog”!
For future scholarships, we would be happy to consider any grandchildren of classmates graduating from LEHS in good standing and going on to further their education after high school. Please keep that in mind for next year if you have a graduating grandchild.
Update to Lunch with the girls May 25, 2017
As many of you noticed and pointed out to me, there were 14 members in the picture and only 13 names.
I did a cut and paste of the names supplied to me, so Elaine Laterza, it was not me who left you out. I have corrected the caption in the original posting.
Elaine, since I took a lot of heat for this, and you were left out I think it would be only fair that “Picture taker” take us to Richardson’s for an Ice Cream.
two Updates
Classmate Linda (Mark) Hayes sent us an email notifying us that we can remove Wendy (Sisson) Morrisette from the Lost Classmates List.
Regrettably class mate Richard Smith’s Picture was removed from the Memorial page. The picture has been reinserted.
Sorry for the inconvenience
Yesterday (April 1, 2017) I was doing some site cleanup in anticipation of the annual Scholarship announcements.
I deleted some older posts, and moved some to locations that made more sense to me. There was no intention to publish to the members. I have no idea why this happened, and am sorry for any confusion it caused.
I will warn you in advance that I will be doing some more housekeeping in the near future, and hopefully things will not get away, but since I do not know what caused this last publishing, I fear it may happen again and request you patience.
