I've never been bashful, so here it goes . . . When you look at the list of 32 classmates that we know will not be there, an alarm goes off. Why not jump in and join the party, with or without spouse/significant other, friend, etc. Yes, there were cliques (all schools had them), insiders, outsiders, jocks, brains, but we all shared the experience of being the Class of '65 - Mt. Lebanon High School. Was the high school experience perfect - I think not. It was chaos tied to anxiety married to maturation with the pressure of "What are you going to do with you life?" Well, we did it (partly) and now it's time to share those experiences. What a great time to say, "I once had a crush on you" and have a few laughs over those crazy years that we called high school.
As we once said in 1965 - "Be there or be square." See you then . . . (Are they serving "cake")

Al- You hit it right on the nose.... In this lonely world, we, (the class of 1965) have something really special!!! We should all come together as a unique group of people that grew up in Pgh. in the 60's... Being with the classmates and thinking of the past, where we came from, old times, exchaning memories, will be a treasure at this time in our lives!!!
Sincerely,
Kathy Wiedt Fullen

Great website!! I have managed to waste an entire morning looking at all the pictures and reading bios...when I should be polishing the silver for Thanksgiving dinner! But what a bunch of incredible people and the accomplishments of all the offspring, it just takes my breath away. Mt Lebanon was (and still is) a unique community-we were so carefree and insulated, so priveliged without being spoiled, hard working and focused, all while having a great time. Our success was the result of high expectations. 85% of our class went to college-pretty good numbers-and those that didn't seem to have done interesting things as well. I am getting to the point where some of my high school memories are clearer that what happened last week, so I hope I can make it to the reunion!!

Everyone have a great holiday!!

27-7 was the football loss to Uniontown. I got a little measure of revenge on that one at the University of Michigan where our football team destroyed the Minnesota Golden Gophers quarterbacked by Ray Stephens and Ray (?) Parson was the TE. I believe Parson played briefly in the NFL.

Daddy Wags Wagner, what a great teacher. John was his real name, no?

Sue Devlin

Probably Cigars and Pot were not smoked in the rest rooms...Cigars are for you old farts now and Pot came into the schools (sadly) a few years after we all graduated...

sorry to see Bill Austin's passing last year recently posted. He was one of my first buddies at Lincoln School when we moved to Lebo when I was in the 3rd grade. He and cousin Bill Morgan, Rich Sposato, who moved away in Jr Hi, Shaun McNally, and I played ball at Lincoln and generally palled around in those grade school years. He lived over on Meadowcroft, down the hill from Kathy Weidt. He had five 0'clock shadow in the 6th grade! He was a big guy but very athletic and fast. If I remember, he had to give up football because of some heart thing, but he was on the track team in HS. I believe he was good friends with Denny Aiken...Anyway, he was a quality guy. I remember him showing me his folk's reel to reel tape recorder and what a big deal it was at the time...

The Sunset Hills International Tigers accept the invitation. Greg Zucco just recovered (broken thumb) from the last encounter. Sgt. Nance (retired)from the Mt. Lebanon Police Dept. has accepted the role of referee.
Any and all protective equipment is banned (as usual) and the usual rules apply - there aren't any. The Lincoln Bums are still a bunch of sissies.

Sounds like a good time to run out and buy stock in Aleve....
