Significance of Veterans’ Day 2018

Veterans’ Day 2018 is a federal holiday (previously known as Armistice Day) observed annually on November 11, not only in the United States but in many other countries throughout the world. In the United States, it is a day that honors all men and women that have served as military veterans in the United States Armed Forces. Additionally, Veteran’s Day 2018 is the anniversary of the signing of the armistice, which ended the World War I hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany in 1918. Veterans Day 2018 should not be mistaken with Memorial Day; Veterans’ Day celebrates the service of all United States military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who died while in military service. For a listing of members of the Class of 1965 who are veterans click https://lynnenglish1965.info/category/veterans/  and scroll down to the listing in a previous posting.

Thank you LEHS Veterans
Especially the Class of 1965
For your service and Your sacrifice

Memorial List Update March 2016

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Jacqueline Laubner Hynes. It was reported in the Lynn Item that one of our teachers, Theodore G. Laubner (Ted) age 99, passed away on the 23rd of September.  In the obituary it was listed that he was predeceased by his daughter Jacqueline Laubner Hynes, who was one of our classmates.  After some research, it was discovered in the Tampa Bay Times that “Jackie” passed on March 1, 2016, 6 months after attending our 50th reunion.  Those of you that attended the reunion may remember seeing Jackie.  She was the lady in the wheelchair.  May they, and all the rest of our classmates who have passed before us, rest in peace.   Click here to visit our class Memorial List.

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!
The inscription on the cake decorated in red and gray with balloons and confetti read “Happy 70s Bulldogs.” Thank you to Sue and Helen G. who donated the fun cake.

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.
