Another of our LHS Class of 1960 Classmates has passed away.

Pat Mattingly, Jackie McGohon’s nephew, called me this morning (June 22, 2017) with bad news. Regrettably Jackie died in an auto accident yesterday. He knew we were school mates and friends and asked that I let others know. I have no other details except that the funeral likely will be Monday. Linda and Jackie moved to LaGrange many years ago so my expectation is that the funeral will be there but I’m just guessing. (Email from Spencer Clark).

Sally (Mattingly)Tilford

Louisville Regional Airport Authority
Airport Ambassador (volunteer)

WHY SALLY WAS NOMINATED
Sally is a dedicated volunteer to the airport, she’s also an extremely passionate ambassador for our community. Sally comments about how proud she is of Louisville – saying it’s a progressive city that appreciates economic growth and local businesses. She is always pleased to share with people her favorite aspects and attractions of the community – making sure to tell them how wonderful of a place it is to call home. As an Airport Ambassador for more than nine years, she has logged roughly 180 volunteer hours annually at the airport – without working a set scheduled. This is impressive, given that a full-time worker is paid for approximately 2,000 hours annually. It is quite remarkable she gives so much of her time to a volunteer role. Our volunteer coordinators and her fellow Ambassadors regularly notice Sally’s giving spirit. Even though Sally do not work a set schedule every week, staff knows they can count on her when needed – even for last minute openings with little to no prior notice. She’s always cheerful and happy to accept. Her lively spirit is infectious – many of her fellow volunteers ask to work in the Information Booth with her because they know Sally will take good care of the visitors, but also make sure everyone else is smiling, laughing and having a good time. Sally has also dedicated additional time on various occasions to help patrons for the Louisville Regional Airport Authority’s special events. This included the grand openings for the Crittenden Drive North and South Connectors and Taxiway Alpha on the airfield when she greeted state, local and federal officials, VIPs and other attendees. She also helps each year welcoming Kentucky Derby guests and assisting with early morning departures of these guests by starting at 4 a.m. to provide complimentary bubble wrap® and a cheerful “thanks for visiting” as they depart. She also assisted 1,200-plus soldiers that previously departed annually from the airport for the holidays and works when large conventions or special needs grounds come to the city. Sally said one of the most rewarding and humbling experiences she had was assisting attendees of the 2012 American Council of the Blind National Convention – helping them from the plane to their transportation from the airport. Countless compliments from passengers, guests and others have been received about Sally as she is truly an asset to the Airport Ambassador Program and our community. To us, she is an ideal Ambassador – one who is approachable and friendly, knowledgeable about and proud of our airport and community, generous with her time and is never afraid to try new challenges.

FROM TIME TO TIME, I LIKE TO ADD A FEW SAFETY NOTES FOR SENIORS.

A reminder before the holidays. Be safe always.

Please, take care of yourself. A recent joint study conducted by the Department of Health and the Department of Motor Vehicles indicates that 23% of traffic accidents are alcohol related. This means that the remaining 77% are caused by odd-balls who drink bottled water, Starbucks, soda, juice, energy drinks and gunk like that. Therefore, beware of those who do not drink alcohol. They cause three times as many accidents. This message is sent to you by someone who worries about your safety. Donna June Graham Graves

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Billy,
I will not be able to spend T-giving in Ky. this year. My husband had a heart attack last week. He had a stint put in and is recovering well, but I would rather not be away from him during the holidays. Give everyone my best. Love & Prayers, Carla

LHS Class of 1960 "Lunch Bunch" get-together was Thursday, October 18, 11 am est at Back Home Restaurant in Elizabethtown. We had a great time, good food and spent 2 1/2 hours talking and telling "high school stories"... like the one about "senior skip day" told by Sally Mattingly Tilford. Seems there was... I must be getting senioritis cause I can't remember the rest of it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thursday, September 20th several got together for the Lunch Bunch. Originally planned for Porcini's in Louisville so they could see the famous "booth" but they only served dinner, so they went to an alternate place, The Blue Dog Bakery and Cafe and ate lunch, then to Desserts by Helen for... you guessed it.... dessert (what else). They took several pictures in front of Porcini's, but none at the Blue Dog or Desserts for Helen. I think they tried to pick up a "YMCA" guy who was working on the street in front of Porcini's (as you see in the picture).

1990 LHS Class of 1960 - 30th Year Reunion

======================================================

Special thanks to Lebanon Enterprise newspaper and Lynn Wilson for the above obituary on Coach Sam Sears.

LHS Classmates:

It is with regret that I inform you of the death of Pat Tapscott, Coach John Tapscott's wife. John coached basketball and baseball and I believe I taught Health at LHS in 1959 and 60. Pat was born May 12, 1931 and died July 14, 2012. Pat was cremated and a Memorial Service was held at Eastwood Baptist Church, in Bowling Green on July 21. Pat gallantly fought cancer for several years, some of you may remember she was in the hospital when John visited our 47th reunion nearly three years ago. Should anyone want to send John a sympathy card you may send it to John Tapscott, 360 W Windsor Circle, Bowling Green, KY 42101 or call him at 270-843-1423.

I visited with Pat and John in their home occasionally over the last 4 + years. Prior to that, I often saw Pat in my wife's beauty shop, John was often with her which gave us the opportunity to reminisce about our days at LHS. During the Memorial, I learned just how much of a class act that Pat was. She was very active in her work at a local bank, and her church, She often gave her testimony even up to the last few weeks of her life.
 
Thanks, Floyd Ray Lanham (LHS Class of 1962)

A LHS faculty member Coach Sam Sears, passed away on July 18, 2012 at the age of 84. In the Lexington Herald-Leader, his obituary continually referred to him as "Sammy". Somehow I just can't feature Coach Sears as a "Sammy". (Information about Coach Sears came from McChord Carrico).

Email from McChord Carrico, Covington, Louisiana

Good morning. Your email about being 70 years old made me think about way back when I was just 69 (last month.) As I told you, a lightning strike to a pine tree 50 feet in front of my house about six weeks ago entered my house and fried a number of items, including a refrigerator fan. As the repairman was sitting on the floor behind the fridge replacing the fan, he complained about being nearly 60 years old and still having to work and do physical labor at his age. I told him I was still working and asked him how old he thought I was. He studied me and then said, in all seriousness, "81 or 82." When I protested that I was nowhere near that age, he slammed me again by saying that I must have had an awfully tough life. If he had been a little smaller, I would have thrown him out of the house! I'm still depressed over his evaluations.

When Donna and I read this, we couldn't stop laughing, It made our day!

TRICK OR TREAT - CARRICO STYLE

Trick or Treat night. The background is this. We told our grandkids we could not make it to their home for Halloween, their home being 150 miles away in Mississippi. We then drove to their town, donned our costumes (Betty is wearing the baseball cap), and went to their home. They gave us each a sucker, not knowing who we were, and we pretended silently to be aggravated at the small amount of the treats. They refused to give us more, and we left and walked around to the side of their house and stayed there for a few minutes. We then returned to their front door, walked in, and began searching the house for treats while they retreated, wide-eyed, to the back of their house where their mother was. Of course, she was in on the stunt. I then discovered the large bowl of treats, picked it up and headed for the front door. That was more than my eight-year old grandson could stand, and he immediately began a tug-of-war with me for the bowl. At that point in time, we decided to reveal ourselves to the grandkids. The grandson’s response was that because it was us, we had to give back the treats they had given us.

I had earlier told my other son what we planned on doing, telling him we were creating a memory with our grandkids. His response was that it may turn out to be a nightmare for them. Luckily, it all worked out to be fun. The picture Betty will send turned out to be one of my Christmas presents from the grandkids. McChord

TONY LINNLEY WANTS TO KNOW

Does any have any information on Donna Sue (Baby Doll)Woodrum or know where she now lives. I spent a lot of good times with her and some other friends at a lot of skating rinks from Danville to Campbelsville and a lot of other places in between and would love to connect with her again if possible. She always had a car of some kind and back then $3.00 would take you a long ways and we put a lot of miles on her cars. (If you can help him, please e-mail him).

I think Virginia and Joan will be scoping Midway out to see what's going on & where to eat. Mark your calendar. More details later.

Woodford Reserve Distillery (near Versailles, Kentucky) outing

Five young ladies from our class visited the Woodford Reserve distillery near Versailles, Kentucky on Friday, June 17th. Woodford Reserve is a brand of premium small batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced by the Brown-Forman Corporation. It is distilled at the company's Woodford Reserve Distillery, and marketed under the former company name for the distillery, Labrot & Graham. The distillery is located in Woodford County, in central Kentucky. Formerly known as Labrot & Graham's Old Oscar Pepper Distillery, the distillery is approximately eight miles from the town of Versailles off US Route 60, between I-64 and Versailles. Each bottle is numbered with a batch number and bottle number. Woodford Reserve's alcohol content is 45.2% (90.4 Proof). No age statement is listed on the bottle. US law requires any bourbon aged less than four years to have an age statement, so the Woodford Reserve bottlings must be at least four years old. (picture below, left to right: Kathy Turner Browning, Judy Helm Mann, Sally Mattingly Tilford, Joan Smith Reed, Virginia Allen Fowler)

from Billy Reynolds 

I remember Pete Dudgeon. I always thought he would be a football player as he was tall and bulky. I was in Mrs Morgan’s class in the 6th grade, but I do remember Pete.

I also remember Diane Wayman. She is my wife, Donna’s second cousin. She and her husband, Carl Sanford lived in Pinehurst, NC and the last Donna heard of her was about 9 years ago at a Wayman Reunion in Bradfordsville. She had a younger sister named Charlotte Ann. I remember when she moved away because her Dad had was starting up a new business and seems like it had to do with potato chips. Her Dad, Hubert Wayman was part-owner of Woodland Inn (which was out on Campbellsville Road and a rough night club) in the 1950’s until he sold his part to his wife's kin, a Woodrum (whose daughter “Baby Doll” Woodrum was a hostess at the night club).

-------------------------------------------------------

from Kathy Turner Browning

Diane Wayman was one of my best friends in grade school but I don't know where she lives now. I worked with her aunt, (Audrey Wayman) for several years and when she died I saw Diane at the funeral home. I'll bet someone from Brafordsville would know where is now.

I also remember Pete Dudgeon but did not know about the accident nor did I hear that he passed away. He was a stepbrother to my 2nd cousin and he lived with them the short time he was in school here.

Anyone know anything about Donna Sue Mardis? My mother gave me the worst spanking of my life because I stayed after school and played on that big old tree for hours behind Lebanon Elementary with Donna Sue. I think it was 3rd or 4th grade. The spanking wasn't so bad - doing it in front of my friend hurt more than anything.

-------------------------------------------------------

A Memory from McChord Carrico...

We had a classmate in grade school whose name was Diane Wayman. I wonder if anyone knows where she moved, etc?

Also, in the sixth grade we had a classmate named Pete Dudgeon.  He was with us the one year in Mrs. Kessler’s class.  We sat next to each other, and one day I was describing to him how a golf ball was made.  He didn’t believe my description of the interior of the golf ball he (or I) had; therefore, I borrowed David Rakes’ pocket knife, and Pete started to cut the ball in half.  The knife slipped, and cut deeply through the webbing between his thumb and forefinger. He bled profusely, and we attempted to stem the blood flow with Kleenex from Mrs. Kessler’s desk without telling her of the problem.  When that didn’t work, and Pete started to pass out, we enlisted the aid of Mrs. Kessler and helped her and Mr. Martin (?) rush Pete to the hospital.  He returned the next day with a heavily bandaged hand.  Pete later played football for Louisville Manual and was an All-State and All-American High School player in 1960 (we sure could have used him on our football team.)  He played football on scholarship with Purdue and was recognized as an outstanding player.  He later was involved in the stock brokerage business and passed away in his early 50s of a heart attack.  I wonder if anyone else remembers him and/or that incident. 

-------------------------------------------------------

A Memory from Pat Wetherford Stine...

Yes, I remember the Sisk Brothers Restaurant. Right before we graduated, Martha, Nancy, Paige and I decided that we needed to do something that we could talk about later, since we never missed school or dared to mess up with any of the teachers. So, we decided we would play hookey during the last study hall (big deal - huh). We went into the Sisk Brothers Restaurant and within 2 minutes Mr. Sisk asked us what we were doing out of school. We all looked at each other and one of us (I'm not sure who) said that we went to St. A (since they seemed to be out every other day for something). He knew better and said that he did not believe us. Well, needless to say, we were back in study hall within 15 minutes of when it started. When I think of it, this seems so harmless today; but, back then we were scared we would be expelled if we were caught. Of course, we didn't think of that before we did it.

And I remember the "fried glazed donuts" at the Arista Snack Shop. They were the best ever.
