Thanks to the Reunion committee
Following are excerpts from e-mails sent by Class of '61ers:
Rich, I'm back in my easy chair at home, but I'm thinking about you and all the reunion gang enjoying a fine dinner and the fellowship. The reception last night was so well done, and my compliments go to all on the organizing committee. ...I picked up Chinese take-out for supper tonight. The little slip of paper in the fortune cookie said "An unexpected acquaintance will resurface". Incredible! That's exactly what happened – more than once – during my visit to Lawrence. What fun. Now I'm looking forward to the 60th! Thanks for your efforts and time on behalf of the class of '61. – Jerry Starr I would like to THANK Rich and his committee for the fabulous few days with my " old " pals from Lawrence!!! I think you ALL should have a STANDING OVATION!!! AND, YES, I'll do all I can to make it back for the next reunion!!! ... I promise!!! ... FUN, FUN, FUN, is how I shall remember our classe's 50th reunion! I shall remember it with warm, fun, loving memories!!! THANKS again the the WHOLE COMMITTEE! – Mary Kay Dunlap Lanning Thank You Thank You Thank You ... the entire week end was amazing. Beaming evidence of all the efforts of time & hard (fun) work & love you all put in for this gathering was shinning brightly in my corner every moment :) – Judy Dennis Gardner How can I ever thank you and your committee for such a perfect reunion. It was truly laughs and memories and a great time. I know this was lots of work for all of you, so I thank each and every one for their labors of love ... I will always have an extra place in my heart for all of my friends of Pinkney, McAllister, LJHS and LHS. My e-mail is always open!!! – Judy Nelson Greer |

Scott Winters 1943-2011
There were many saddened hearts at the reunion as the news spread of Scott Winter's passing Friday evening, Sept. 16, 2011, at his home in Lawrence. Scott had had a long battle with cancer and finally lost the battle. He will be greatly missed. Our sympathies go out to his family including wife and classmate Carol Olson Winters.
HERE for a .pdf of Scott's Remembrance Service program.
HERE is a brief obituary from the Lawrence Journal World.
