LAHS
LIONS ALUMNI NEWSLETTER
August 23, 2003
THE REAL NEWSLETTER IS
ATTACHED TO THIS MESSAGE
These are
just a few extra notes that supplement the spectacular newsletter that Debbie Holloway
Corrigan '76 created for us this summer. About 550 thanks (the number of
newsletters that we distribute) are due to Debbie for her exceptional work, and
also for her infinite patience with all the little (and sometime big) edits and
revisions that were requested. (Sound of 1,100 hands clapping!!!)
You need Adobe Acrobat to view the attached newsletter. Try viewing the
attachment, and then if it does not appear, go to www.adobe.com and download the
latest version of Acrobat. It's well worth it. Print the newsletter in color
for a real treat!
RSVP FOR THE 2003 LAHS REUNION ONLINE
Not knowing
for sure how many are attending the reunions and when they will be there has
always been a problem for the reunion committees. The best reference is usually
the reservation list at the hotel, but often people are not added to the hotel
reunion list for various reason when the reservation is made. In addition,
there are always alumni just driving in for the day from their local homes, and
they obviously wouldn't be on the hotel's list. This year we are going to try
something new, a RSVP service on the web.
So when you receive a message from Sendomatic.com (funky name, huh?) in a week
or so, please log on and RSVP yes or no for the reunion. And be sure to leave a
comment including when you will arrive and depart so we can plan the food and
drink for the various days. There will be a button so you can see comments that
other alumni have left, and also who is attending.

Local
license plates to replace AFI plates
Are these
cars parked at a shopping center in Aviano, Italy, owned by Americans or
Italians? Thanks to recent efforts by military officials, it's pretty hard to
tell. Most soldiers stationed in Italy are now driving with Italian plates on
their vehicles. And hundreds of airmen will soon join them. In a few months,
Allied Forces In-ternational license plates in Italy might just become
collector's items. More:

Peppy
Pisa party for American cheerleaders
Just about
everything has been suggested or tried to stop any further tilting by the Tower
of Pisa. Thus it was that one sunny Saturday morning, an off day in the
football schedule, the Leghorn Lions' cheerleaders staged a Pisa pep rally . In
all the glory of their green-and-white school colors, the girls led tourists
and townspeople in rousing cheers of "hold that lean!" More:
