Message from the President August 2011

The August 2011 Message from the LSAA President, Bob Sansone:

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

And what lies within LSAA is the connection of a shared experience that has brought great meaning to many lives. We meet once a year to rekindle friendships, recall stories of our Lenox years and share our experience of how the journey is going. That once a year opportunity is upon us!

The Lenox School Reunion - October 14, 15, 16, 2011
(Reunion sign up Form)

 The class of 1961 continues to build what looks like an impressive gathering for the upcoming reunion and we hope that all other classes (legacy year or otherwise) will join in for what we believe will be another stellar weekend.  The reunion response form is in the Pen and Scroll as well as on the LSAA website.  Join us!

Need another reason to come to the reunion?

Aside from the memorabilia collection and material assembled at Shakespeare and Company, there really is nothing that informs visitors that the Lenox School existed on these same grounds for many years … until now. Thanks to an anonymous donation from one of our alums, the continuing efforts of Randy Harris and the generous permission of Shakespeare and Company, we plan to have an unveiling ceremony for an historical marker commemorating the existence of Lenox School:  a bronze plaque to be set in front of Saint Martin’s.

LSAA Database

We are diligently working on a solution to make the LSAA database available to members while ensuring a modicum of security. Kimball Packard and Oliver Kempton are central to our success in this area and we feel we’ll have this established soon.

 Although I listed the following in my Spring message, it is an effort that merits reprising:

“If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”  Toni Morrison

I know Randy Harris and Ed Ockenden are eager to receive more information for the Lenox Book project: Lenox School Book of History and Memories (not the final Title) whose goal is to provide a source of memories and enjoyment for LSAA members; commemorate the School and those involved with it; and to add to the enduring legacy of the School "as we knew it."

Please send information to:  Email to Randy Harris rdassist7@gmail.com with a copy furnished to Ed Ockenden at edock2@verizon.net.  Written input to Randy Harris, 410 Cottonwood Drive, Harker Heights, TX 76548.  Telephone Input, as necessary, to Randy Harris at (254) 690-6795. See the LSAA website for more on this as well.

Looking forward to seeing you back at school!

Very Warmest Regards,

Bob Sansone
