Cousins Leigh (l) and Jerry on Christmas Day, 1942 (4 months old) Photo taken at the residence of John and Ida Yenter Hoblit on Elm Street in Lincoln. The Hoblits were Leigh's maternal great-grandparents and Jerry's maternal grandparents (let either of us know if you want this explained). A DVD was made of the noble Class of 1960's 45th Reunion (fall, 2005). The DVD presents interviews with classmates and Jeff Fults' production featuring classmates and/or their relatives impersonating celebrity singers and lipsincing to their hits--you have to see and hear it to believe it! Judy Lohrenz Perkins graciously offers a copy of this Grammy-quality DVD for just $10.00. Write her at 16 St. Andrews Dr., Lincoln, IL 62656; or email her at jann@insightbb.com.
45th Reunion Impressario-Emcee Jeff Fults (aka Jon Diers) You can also find a link to this video to see it for free at Blog Lincoln, Illinois. |

The background image on this page is adapted from the drawing inside the diploma cover. The phrase below was the inscription on the beam (entablature) above the main entrance to the classic, red-brick landmark at 208 Broadway Street:
"To Reveal Truth and Beauty" |

"The sins of all the war-lords burn his
heart. |
He cannot rest until a spirit-dawn |

This Web site and its related email communication are helping to reinvent a community of Lincolnites and build other relationships as indicated by the following unsolicited testimonial: "I have been able to talk to people and not necessarily Class of '60 persons, about distant relatives and other items not related to our class, so it is a conduit for other communications too and that is great. I know it is a real positive element for many who struggle with health, relationships, isolation and who are without some of life's other good fortunes that some of us have or have experienced. That uplifting element shows in the replies of those who carry some difficult burdens. God bless you and the others that are able to brighten our lives from time to time." -- Nelson Teichmann, LCHS Class of 1960 (July 8, 2001)
