Hey everybody. This is the third edition of the LHS Class of 1983 Alumni Journal. In this edition, we will relive the 20th Reunion Weekend through some photos. This edition will also contain some of the ideas and issues discussed at the reunion.

I’m happy to say that our 20th reunion was a great success. We had a great turnout for every event. Thanks to everyone for participating in the weekend. Thanks especially to our reunion committee staff—Jane Stanley, Judi Arceneaux, Kackie Lerielle, Tracey Pears, Kim Fitch, John Duhon, Paul Sobiesk, Richard Montgomery, Renee LeJeune and many others. These people are wonderful assets to our class, not to mention supportive friends to us all.

Friday’s Downtown Alive gathering was a fun time for us all, especially in the friendly confines of Stan’s Restaurant and Bar. Historic downtown Lafayette was looking beautiful as the streets of the recently renovated area were filled with our classmates. Thanks again Stanley (Kackie’s Brother) for hosting us.

The place was packed with our friends. Mike Morgan, John Guidry, Drew Bright, Beth Davis, Mindy May, Kevin Colomb, LeAnn Lampshire, Kim Cobb and so many more wonderful alum showed up in great spirits.

Saturday’s Picnic at the Campus was also a great event, especially for our families. Jim Baron, David Domingue, Lyle Gauthier, BessAnn Hebert, and many others brought their children and families to gathering. Kids, many looking like little LHS lion 83 clones, roamed the campus filling the halls with laughter. This event was special, so don’t miss the photos in this journal.

I also want to thank the dozens of class members who could not make the reunion. I received dozens of great messages of support and even monetary donations through emails, letters, phone calls and prayers all wishing us the best.

I’m happy to send out this Alumni Journal via email and will also post the copy on our website at lafayettehigh1983.com. Please print out a hard copy and mail to any alum you know who is technology challenged. Thanks again, Mitch.
