Homecoming: 1965 and 2011 -
Lawrence Eyre and Lane Gans

The thrones for homecoming king and queen were set up,
so Lawrence Eyre and Lane Gans sat down for a photo.

They closed their eyes and remembered being crowned 46 years ago,
the cheers and applause, the brightly lit auditorium.

  1. i saw the thrones and pretty much shouted to lane, "these are the same chairs! we've got to sit in them again." thanks to our mystery photographer (who are you?), and thank you, greg, for posting these poignant then-and-now photos together. the chairs haven't changed; we have, but our happiness still shines through after 46 years....

  2. I am glad that happened, Lawrence and Lane.

    I saw a lot of happiness at the reunion, and we loved every minute of it.

    Someone has a photo of Tom Hansen from the MHS walk. I hope I get a copy to publish.
