......LHS News......
Originally sent July 21
Someone is looking for Bobby Odum, class '52. Last seen years ago in CA.
I also received info on Camille (Lay), '54, if person asking would email me.
Once again Herb Jacobs - 'Where Are They Now' - has a great story on the Coombs family. Father, mother, 11 brothers, 4 sisters, who formed a barn-storming baseball team during the 1929-31 seasons. They traveled Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Louisiana. All are deceased. One of those brothers - Ernest - was father to '56 LHS classmate Harvey Coombs. Harvey was All State at LHS in '56 and played minor league ball for 3 years. One of the original posters that advertised the family ball team is headed to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Great read, page 4-C, Lawton Constitution, Sunday July 10. (photo above).
Susan (Hankins) Ellington has several of the updated Memory books from the recent '56 and '54 reunion that are available. Cost is only $23.41 each, which includes the postage to get it to you!!! Supply is limited so let Susan know if you want a book(s) ...first come, first served! pssssstttttt....I have one & they are great! Color too!

Also Larry Gee has some great photos from the reunion. You can contact Larry and he can give you a link to view pictures & tell you how to order:
Had a brief visit with Bob and Deloris (Pannell) Mansell this week at a local restaurant. They were doing 'OK'....Bob has had his share of health problems the past 3-4 years, but they are hanging in there!
Also ran into Allen Johnson, '55. Allen was doing good & we visited a few minutes about mutual friends/classmates.
Sending picture of Joe Lansdens' great looking Yak airplane. Joe is gearing up for the annual really BIG air show in Oshkosh, WI end of this month.
Appreciate Nancy Long, '65, for the great picture taken on a recent visit to Monument Valley, UT.
Wishing a VERY Happy Anniversary to '59 classmate Weldon Davis and his delightful bride...Marilyn ~ July 25. Congrats guys!
