Harry,
The reality for my situation is too many conflicts of scheduling and plans already committed to.
I do not think that I will be able to get to Chicago from Florida this
year. My wife and I hate to miss this opportunity to reconnect with old classmates, but we have already committed to
three 2,000 mile trips this year and another one would literally break my back (including another one in April). It
is hard to think that I am over committed in my retirement, but I am still new to the situation. So I hope that everyone
stays in good health and is available and interested in another reunion in the next few years when I can get to Chicago.
Best wishes for the 50th, sorry my wife and I will miss it,
Bob Estrup

Harry, Thanks for the reminder. Unfortunately at this point it looks like my wife Jennifer and I will not
be able to make it to the reunion. I'll let you know if we're able to get there after all, but please don't reserve the
second banquet room on our account. Thanks also for putting together the
class website. I've enjoyed browsing through it. By the way, do you have a list of who all are planning on coming?
I guess that I'll see that on https://lanetech62.tripod.com/ after the reunion if we don't get there in person. Thanks, Dennis R. Goldenson

John and Kay have residences in IL and AZ. He is a retired Architectural Drafting Teacher. He invites other classmates
to share memories. He has fond memories of skating at Riverview Rink with the HS Roller Skating Club. Mr. Dix, the foundry
teacher used to kick butt! John still has his wood shop project: the shield and Indian head from Mr. Robert's class.
He says you could get punished for coming to school without a belt. He remembers getting stuck in the snow with his father's
car on prom night.

Sorry, can't
make it this spring; trying to decide if I should spend $3500 - $5000 on hearing aids and the wife wants to remodel the bathroom
and things are unsettled at the office.
BUT, I may be in Chicago for a few days in July or August, depending on if and when Susan gets a teaching
job for a week in Decatur, IL and on the all important fishing
schedule in Ontario.
So take lots of photos,
raise a few for me and share the memories.

This is
a note to say thank you to all of those folks that were involved in setting up the reunion. Do know that I enjoyed myself
a great deal and it was nice to reaquaint myself with old friends. I'm sure that setting up all of the arrangements involved
substantial time and effort. The informal character of the reunion was "just right".
Thanx again and I will look
forward to renewing some old friendships.

Wayne, Harry,
I enjoyed the evening.
The food was good, and it was good to see everyone.
Thanks for all
your work.

Hi Guys:
To say the least it was fantastic. What a great time. Wanted to spend more time with everyone but couldn't do
it.
Wayno (Wayne

Thanks to you all for the work and care that went into planning and actualizing the 50th reunion of the January 1962 graduating class. I really
enjoyed myself and learned a lot about the old and new Lane. We have good
reason to be thankful for the opportunity we had to attend Lane. At the time
I am sure most of us thought Lane was a "typical" high school. It took me
a number of years as an educator before I began to realize how unique Lane
was and still is. Douglas MacPherson (4/30/12)
Harry: Thanks for all your work on a great weekend.
It couldn't have been better. Jim Bishop
A BIG THANK YOU to all of you and anybody else who had a part tp play in a very enjoyable weekend. It was great to catch-up
with old friends and just share our life stories wish are so very important. Thanks again to all of you for a job well done.
Carl Jerzyk
Had a great time at the reunion. Thank you for all the hard
work in planning this event. Hope to see you again in the future.
