NEWS OF THE 2016 REUNION PICNIC
On Friday September 16, 2016 about 200 classmates gathered at
Darden Towe
Park for our annual Lane High Reunion. We had
representatives from every class
from 1941 through 1976 with the
exception of 69, 72, 73 and 75.
Dan TOWNSEND, as he has for
many years, represented the class of 1941 along
with his son, Jim
TOWNSEND from the class of 1971. Elsom JOHNSON (43)
and his daughter, Jackie JOHNSON Lockwood (63) attended.
Mary
BIRCKHEAD Trogdon (46) came with her daughter, Susan
TRODGON
Barnett (68). The classes of 1952 and 1955 tied for
having the
most classmates attending (18), with the class of 57
close behind. 
The classes of 53, 54 and 56 were also well represented.
We were
blessed with near perfect weather, a great day to reconnect
with those
who have attended for many years as well as welcome a
number of first
time attendees.  Some of those had heard about the
reunion through
Facebook and our website.  Elaine ACREE
Pleasants (64)
has done a masterful job of maintaining the
website
LaneHSOnward.com. If you have not visited it, please
do so. You will love the information and
pictures there! This year
we welcomed some younger classmates
to help keep our reunions
going.
Jane SMITH Thomas (67) served as Registrar, receiving
and recording registrations and donations. 
Diane PLANT Spencer
(61)
and Brenda WEAKLEY Croxton (61) worked with Wayside
Takeout and Catering to make sure that we had
plenty of food.
We actually had some left over due to the 24 classmates
who
sent in reservations but did not attend. (Dang!)
Scott LEAKE (66) sent three of his classmates to help set up tables,
chairs and small pop-up tents. Some members of the committee who
have been coordinating reunion picnics for 10 or more years were still
on the job. Bob (50) and Mary Elizabeth ARMSTRONG SNODDY (50)
produced the August newsletter and with the help of Oran (43)
and Nancy TYLER OAKEY (48) folded, stuffed, stamped and mailed
about 1,300 of them. Our thanks to Elaine ACREE Pleasants (64)
who maintains the database and generated mailing labels from it.
Nancy Oakey (48), as she has for many years, organized badges
and made lists so that we could check off those who came. Bill
ALDERMAN (55) took care of renting tents, tables and chairs and
made sure we had enough paper goods, cold drinks and ice. Anna
Jane HAYES (55) and Barbara TURNER (55) arranged for the
delivery of the lovely chrysanthemums that decorated our tables.
Betty BRANHAM Glass Paine (50) worked with Albemarle Parks
and Recreation to make sure the facilities were spic and span and
well lighted. Many hands helped produce our 2016 picnic. One
thing we need for future reunions is more folks to stay and help
t
ake down the tables, chairs and small tents and clean up the area.
Please volunteer at the Picnic!
With the help of younger classmates, we hope that the “all class
reunion” will be carried on into the future.

BEING INFORMED OLD AND NEW
As we add classmates from the 60s and 70s, we find they are a
generation in constant contact with rapidly changing technology.
When our 9 year old grandson was a baby his sisters were glued
to a 24″ computer screen. Now, he and the rest of his family are
glued to iPhones and iPads which do everything the computer
did just a decade ago and much more. Many of you have asked
that Newsletters and Rosters be sent by email, which we are
happy to do if you have given us your email address. Newsletters
and Reunion Registration Forms are posted on our wonderful website
(which
Elaine ACREE Pleasants (64) keeps current). However, there
are still many of us who don’t depend on social media for everything,
who still prefer a paper copy that they can actually hold in their hands
and read. If you are one of those, never fear, we will still be mailing
Newsletters to the classmates on our database who prefer them.
Help us make the Newsletters more interesting by sending in your
news.  “If you enjoy reading news of others, they will enjoy reading
your news.”

WEBSITE VERSUS DATABASE
Perhaps some of you may have wondered how the Lane High
School website and the Database differ.

The website offers all that is necessary to be completely connected
to the activities of the Lane High Reunions Committee. There, one
can read plus print the latest Newsletter, view a list of classmates, by
year, for whom we have a city and state address. One can also view the
Chains for years 1940-74, except 1968, 1970-71, and 1973. There is a
history of the Multi-Class Reunions, the latest notes from classmates,
and often a feature article. No personal information is online.

The Database dates from before technology took over. It is simply
personal data that is necessary for U.S. mailing. It is not online. In the
past, a class was entered after it celebrated its 50
th anniversary, a time
when a current list of members was usually available. Classes from
1939-1961 plus 1963 and 1965 are on the database. There will most
likely be no more entire classes added because of their size.
Everything will remain the same for those who have been on the
database for years unless one’s information changes.

One who wishes to be included in our Roster, which is published
each fall after the annual picnic, and those who wish to receive a
paper copy of our Newsletters or the Roster will need to be added
to Database. PLEASE SEND THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.

First Name, LANE (Birth) name, LAST NAME, maiden name (if any)
-Class year
-Street address (plus any Apt. or Unit #)
-City and state with 9 digit zip code (or 5 digit)
-Phone Number (xxx)-xxx-xxxx format
-Spouse name, if also a Lane Alumnus: class year

attend the reunion this year due to a conflict. I would like to make a request.
I am seeking a Chain from 1951, my graduation year. Somehow mine
disappeared and I would really like to replace it. If there is a way to make a
request, I would be most appreciative.  I will gladly reimburse mailing
expenses to anyone who will part with a 1951 Chain.

Frederick C. “Rik” HEIDLOFF (59): The enclosed cheque is to help

My best wishes to all, and especially the class of 1959 attendees. I am
sorry to read in the recent bulletin of the passing of
Bebo PURCELL (59).
In recent years (now, not so recent) I would enjoy dinner out with Bobby
HALL, another ’59er.  GREAT PEOPLE! I hope everything goes well for
upcoming events. The middle of September is difficult for me to schedule
travel and attend events. MY LOSS when I can’t fit ’em in. Thanks for your
help in doing the job you do in honor of Lane High and its people.

Jean SADLER Surgi (43) wrote: I have just decided to come to the
reunion this year, but I can’t get my printer to print the registration form,
so I am passing this info on to you to handle, if you will. I know that I am
past the deadline, but I hope that my registration will be accepted anyway.
The Sadler family is having a reunion in Charlottesville on Saturday,
Sept. 17, and my granddaughter is coming down on Friday to be there
in time on Saturday to help with preparations for that, since she and a
cousin are the event planners.
I no longer drive and do not go out of the house anywhere without someone
to help me – I have balance issues. So I would like to attend the LHS reunion,
along with my granddaughter, Erika Sorrel, and her daughter, Kiera (21
months).  If it is o.k. with you, I will pay when I get there. Hope to see you
soon!

Sarah FAULCONER Carlton (43) wrote: I am sorry I will not be able to
attend the Lane High School reunion this year. A big “hello” to all of my
schoolmates of ’43 – May GOD bless.

Jean FRIEDLEIN Zipperer (54) wrote: Sorry to take so long to
reply.  I am slowly recovering from total knee replacement in August.
I have sad news to be related to classmates of 53 & 54. First, my
husband of 52 years suddenly passed away in January 2015. As many
already knew, my brother
Walter Lewis (Bubby) FRIEDLEIN (54)
was battling cancer at that time. He lost the fight on August 13, 2015.
So you may understand how difficult all of this has been for all us.
My children and grandchildren remain a great source of joy and
keep me grounded. We have always been close to my brother and
his family and will remain so. I love reading the Newsletter each
year and wish the very best for everyone. Please share my email
address with anyone interested:
jfzipperer2@gmail.com.

Frank Perkins (56): Thank you for the LHS Reunions Newsletters
you have been sending over the years.  I have thoroughly enjoyed
reading them. Your efforts and those of Jane are much appreciated.
Life here in Hawaii is good. With all the water sports and hiking
that are available for one to enjoy, I regret arriving here so late in life.
The old muscles, bones and joints don’t cooperate well enough to
participate in the more vigorous activities. However, the vistas are
spectacular and nicely varied particularly when one treats oneself to
trips to the neighboring islands.  I frequently drive about a mile from
the house, pull off the road and sit on cliffs overlooking the water to
watch the humpback whales breaching fairly close into shore and,
of course, spectacular wave action at the base of the cliffs. In addition,
there still lives a spirit of Aloha here so I can’t complain.
I hope all goes well for you and yours. By the way, although my
knowledge is dated, I still have memories of what Palmyra looked
like many years ago, having been born in Dixie only a few miles up
the road from you. It is nice to be able to say that I was born in Dixie
and that is a fact.

Doneitta MATTEX Quillon (58) wrote, Wow! What an interesting
newsletter. I finally took time to look it up on the web site. Thank you
all for giving of your time and talents to provide so much information
for us. My husband, Dale and I have been on your mailing list. You
may take us off, from now on we will be looking at it on the web.

Martha Ann Sibley wrote: I received your Newsletter today and felt
I should let you know that my husband,
Ben SIBLEY, Class of 1951,
passed away June 23, 2016. We have been living in New Smyrna Beach,
FL since 2001 and were married for 55 years. Our two children and
three grandchildren miss him very much.

James Gault of San Francisco, CA (not a Lane alum) was doing
genealogy research about a family that was associated with
Jim BICKLEY (48).
James Gault knew that Jim had attended Lane
High School, and his search found the LaneHSOnward.com website.
He saw that there had been a reunion and the link “Interested
who attended – Click here”. There, on the list, was Jim Bickley.
So he contacted us with a request for contact information for Jim.
We honored his request.  Later, he emailed, “Many thanks to you
for sending me the contact info on Jim Bickley. It is terrific that
the Lane High School students keep in touch and have such a
strong school spirit. I had a very nice telephone visit with Jim
this morning! Best wishes, Jim Gault

Stuart RICHARDSON Dopp (58) (though my family moved to NVA
the summer before my senior year.) Thank you so much for helping
with the Lane reunions. Though I haven’t been able to attend yet,
it is comforting to know that the spirit is alive and well. My husband
and I have recently moved to Williamsburg, both to be near family
(including my brother,
Howard RICHARDSON (53) and to facilitate
our involvement with William and Mary, our joint alma mater.
What a great enterprise this is — even a website. Who says old dogs
can’t learn new tricks (though the use of that hackneyed cliche may
suggest otherwise…). I enjoyed the article on the website about the
Keith brothers’ cars. We lived in their childhood home, Keithwood,
from 1998-2007, so it was fun to see it in the background of one
of the pictures. Charlottesville is full of good memories for me.
I hated to leave it but am happy here in Williamsburg also.

sculpting tools and equipment. Dean’s family had owned and
operated Ettl Studios in New York City, a monument casting
company. In the early 1900’s, the only way to get sculpture cast
into monuments was to send it back to Europe. Dean’s grandfather
