Baxter's Letter to the Class of '65, May 2000

Dear Classmates,

The reunion is only three months away and we are winding up a very successful drive for the Class of '65 Scholarship Fund.  We are well positioned to realize the original goal we established almost 35 years ago of leaving a lasting legacy for the Class of '65 in the form of a perpetual scholarship, which will continue to grow over time.  Through your generosity during the past five years, we now have over $16,000 in the fund.  The finish line is in sight and there is one more opportunity to add to the success of this very worthwhile project.

 I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have shared this dream with me and supported our efforts during the past 5 years to make the Class of '65 Scholarship Fund a reality.  Every year during the last 35 years, I have received a Thank You note from the recipient of our scholarship.  Each note has been sincere and genuine in thanking us for our gift.  However, these notes also served to remind me that the original goal we had set as a class had not been met.  We have now realized the original promise. .

 CONGRATULATIONS, CLASS OF'65 WELL DONE!

 Sincerely,

Baxter Lane

Class President
