LHS CHRISTMAS GREETINGS – 2011

Hi Everyone! Remember how we used to have a year end Christmas letter to wish our classmates a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year? Well, it is too late for Christmas, however, if you would like to email me your Good Wishes for the New Year, (jerijim@comcast.net), I’ll make up a letter with your comments and the Helpers will send them out. It has been since 2006 since we have done that. In the meantime, I and my LHS Helpers, Maury Hoffman, JoAnne Troeh, Linda Munson Covey, Karen Hoene, Sue Moore, Russ Mason, Bill Kemp, Faith Brown, Joyce McGinity and Deanne Jacks, would like to wish each and every one of you a Very Merry Christmas and a  Prosperous Happy New Year!

This has been a very busy year this year. It was the year of the First Annual All Class Picnic, and don’t forget the “Chug Frank” Memorial SuperBowl Sunday Annex Party at the Red Lion Hotel next month at noon.  It was also the year that we lost some of our Classmates. We will forever keep them in our hearts. We have been fortunate also with Lewiston celebrating its Sesquicentennial–150 years, with the Tribune printing those wonderful old pictures that we were able to share. Thanks to the NezPerce County Historical Society for sharing news, pictures, and support.  Keeping in this vein, I have found some ‘historical pictures of some of us” in the 1940s. Enjoy!
