LHS TEACHERS

We have been able to find eleven (11) of our former Lincoln teachers. They all remember us (our class) fondly; which seems a bit strange. We are inviting them all to our Potluck Picnic on Sunday, August 17th. It will be much easier for them to attend the Picnic and will be in a less formal setting so we all can converse more casually.

Those found are:
Mrs. Lunelle (Chapin) Flannery (89) – Journalism
Totem Weekly advisor
Mrs. Janice (Hanson) Sorensen (77) – Girls’ Advisor
the youngest on the LHS staff and was also married in 1958
Mr. Marvin Herard (79) – Art

Mr. William Holm (83) – Art

Mr. Gilbert Koeller (85) – Business Education

Mr. Paul Lorentz (90) – Mathmatics

Mr. Joe Mahoski (80 ) – Physical Education

Mr. Egil Smedvig (85) – Band/Orchestra

Decorations Displays (updated 02/08/08)

2008-02-08T15:58:00.000-08:00

Classmates - We need your help with Displays!

The Decorations committee is in need of LHS paraphernalia and items that can be displayed at the Reunion Social. Any help is greatly appreciated. Any and all items such as programs, dance cards, pictures, newspaper articles, even interesting (short) stories, etc., would be great! But no fair cleaning out your attics and forwarding them on!!

Please send your items or ideas to:
Bev (Cook) Gettys, 13345 - 11th Ave. NE, Seattle, WA 98125
206-364-8412 bevgettys@msn.com

She would like your contributions by April, if at all possible.

Please make copies for the Decorations committee if appropriate. If not, indicate that you want them back and Bev will ensure they will be returned. Or you can pick them up after the Reunion that evening.

Thanks for your help making our 50 Year Reunion a huge success!

Beanery (updated 02/08/08)

2008-02-08T15:25:00.000-08:00

THE BEANERY

The Beanery is definitely a LHS legend. Though it has been many years since it was a central part of the Lincoln culture (for some of the class anyway), is still conjures up pleasant and even humorous memories of all kinds. One of our classmates has shared one here:

“The Beanery was on 44th a half block across the street and due east of the school. There are several good memories from there including the wonderful chocolate sundaes with chocolate ice cream and trying to shoot the crushed paper cones through a hold in the window over the door. I won't mention the practice of setting the crunched ping-pong balls afire and inadvertently setting the curtains afire. No danger though......they were plastic and just melted.”

There is a large interest is keeping the legend going. Does anyone have pictures of the Beanery (either inside or outside)? We’d like to have them for our Reunion bulletin board displays.

Please send them to:

Bev (Cook) Gettys, 13345 – 11th Ave. NE, Seattle, WA 98125

(206) 364-8412 bevgettys@msn.com

Thank you very much for contributing to our Reunion.

LHS STROLL

(John Wollenweber, Stroll Chair)

It might be nice to walk down memory lane and take one more stroll around "the ol' girl"!

We are planning a LHS Stroll on Saturday, 8/16/08 from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM at LHS. A (requested) Box Lunch will be served at 11:45 AM with Pictures at 12:30 PM sharp on the Front Steps. It is also planned to have an opportunity to "walk the main halls" on the first floor.

For many of us who haven't been back for a very long time, this event will definetly put us in the mood for the evening's Social.

More information will be distributed with the Registration form, being sent out in late March ('08). A guide map will be provided to ensure no one gets lost.

Golf Event (updated 02/03/08)

GOLF EVENT

August 15, 2008

(John Wollenweber, Golf Chair)

The Golfing Event is planned for Friday, August 15, 2008, at the Nile Golf and Country Club. This is not a tournement but just a good old fashion golf "outing". Scores will be kept totally confidential unless someone wants to "brag".

We expect a good turnout; spouses are welcomed. Exact four-somes will be formed that day unless individuals want to arrange their own. Exact time will be determined by early July. We expect to start in the morning (at a reasonable hour) but in time to have a cool bud and/or lunch at the club house following either 9 or 18 holes! Costs at NG&CC are $27.00 (18) or $19.00 (9), with power carts at $25.00 for 2. That's only $0.22 per swing!

Further info will be made available as more information is available. Keep watching!

REUNION PICNIC

August 17, 2008

(John Moffitt, Picnic Chair)

The Reunion PotLuck Picnic is scheduled for Sunday, 8/17/08, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The Committee has chosen two (2) locations; 1.-Ravenna Park or 2.-Woodlawn Park with the exact location to be determined by a Seattle Parks Dept. Lottory system. The Committee will be submitting "site requests" in February and will not be notifed of "their" selection till late March. This timeframe may be after our Reunion Registration mailings. If so, exact location for the PotLuck Picnic will be forwarded to you all. A notice update in this Blog Site (probably in early April) will also provided.

Until we have a good feel for how many will be attending, "food requests" will be withheld. Food items will be requested by August 1st, though.

Both sites have Rest rooms and Handicap parking available.

All Lincoln High School teachers still living in the area will be invited to attend and share in the festivities.

A comment that has been expressed is, "isn't it going to be difficult for those comming from afar, to have a PotLuck picnic"? With all the terrific deli's in the local area (even on Sundays), this shouldn't be a problem. University Village which is very close to Ravenna Park has a great deli in the QFC. There are several deli's around Wallingford/Greenlake/Ballard/Fremont districts . too, for Woodlawn Park. We should see the best "gormet" and "gromon" picnic ever!

LINCOLN LYNX ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
(LLAA)

The ’58 Reunion Committee encourages everyone to join the LLAA. This is a great way to keep in contact with Lincoln HS and learn what is happening. The LLAA is a non-profit organization that promotes and preserves the history of Lincoln High School and promotes activities that strengthen bonds between it's members. Membership in the LLAA is open to any person who has attended Lincoln High School, as a student, Staff, or faculty member.

The LLAA has a great Scholarship program for lineal descendants of graduates of Lincoln! Several of our own classmate's children have benefited from these scholarships.

The LLAA just hosted a terrific 100 Year Celebration in September at the school. It was great to "walk the halls" again! Over 450 former Lynx attended; I believe the class of '58 was the most represented ("58 is great"). Several other 100 Year events are planned including a T-Day Dance (Feb. 16, 2008), Wallingford Kiddies Day Parade (July 12, 2008). There is also the Annual All Class Luncheon (May 17, 2008 at the Nile G&CC) plus plenty of other activities you might consider and enjoy.

Our own Bill Brown ('58) was the President for the past 4 years and has contributed in rejuvenating the LLAA. He has just stepped down and handed the torch off to capable hands. Job well done, Bill!

The LLAA produces the TOTEM II newspaper and is mailed to all members 3 times a year. This is a great source of information and helps to make you feel "back in school"!

Bonnie (Rudd) Lambing (’58) is our Totem II Class Rep. She’s always looking for interesting articles from our class. I’m sure she’d love to hear from you,; as we all would. She can be contacted at: russbon05@aol.com .

Go to the LLAA website: www.lincolnlynxseattle.org for more information. There are several interesting sections in the website including: Membership, Reunions, Scholarships, News, Missing Lynx (by class), Marketing and more.

Please consider joining the LLAA; get the membership form from the website - only $15 per family.

Also - Please Help us find our “LOST” classmates!!

2007-12-15T11:43:00.000-08:00

The Reunion Evening Social meal will be a sit down event. The Committee had a most delightful “Sampling Party” at the Lynnwood Convention Center this last September and were extremely pleased. The LCC has assured us that their Chef “Rick” (definitely not me!) will still be there next August.

The Committee has picked four (4) delicious selections we know you will enjoy.

Grilled Filet of Salmon: with Fingerling Potatoes, Leeks, Fennel and Grain Mustard

Garlic Crusted Chicken Brest: with Artichokes, Oven Cured Tomatoes, Saffron Pine Nut Pilaf , Lemon and Thyme

Spiced Rubbed Flat Iron Steak: with Dauphinoise Potatoes, Brandy and Peppercorns

Vegetarian: with Shallots and Red Wine Reduction, Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes

House Salad and Desert ( Lemon Tart or Raspberry Fondant Cake) are included with the meal.

Wine by the glass or bottle may be purchased from the bar.

Begin deciding what you want; it's going to be tough to choose!

Reserved Seating (updated 12/31/07)

2007-12-13T19:29:00.000-08:00

"Reserved Seating" for the Social dinner will be at round tables of 10. "Reserved Seating" is being planned to ensure you sit with classmates you remember or were/are friends with. Also, with 500 or more all trying to find a place to sit, it could be total chaos without some organization. There is already great excitment about "Reserved Seating"!

The actual location of specific tables for your "Reserved Seating" will not be selected until just prior to the Reunion. You will be given (surprised with) your reserved table location when you check-in on the 16th (Aug.). Please begin thinking of whom you would like to sit with and make plans accordingly. You do not need to fill a table either. We will accommodate most every request on a "best effort basis". Let us also know if you need special seating requirements, please.

Classmates have begun to request "Reserved Seating" already, but there are many still available. You can begin requesting "Reserved Seating" now if you wish; please contact Rick Chartrand. "Reserved Seating" requests can also be made on the Registration Form being sent out in mid/late March. We will also ask that current requests be re-confirmed on the Registration Form as well.

“Self Selection” seating of unfilled tables will be available at the Reunion Social that evening, if you wish to wait.

Please contact us (even before Registration) with your "Reserved Seating" preference! Contact us at: 58Lynx@comcast.net
