SHOW US YOUR 'HOT WHEELS'
On May 18, 1968, the Mattel Toy Company introduced the very first 16-car collection of Hot Wheels...
Ironically, that was just about the same time the LHS Class of 1971 turned 16 and we began to acquire our own 'Hot Wheels'...
Since then, all of us have had multiple cars and, like anything else, some of them turned out to be our all-time favorites...
That said, we'd like you to send a photo of one of your cars...
Your first one...
Your favorite one...
Your current one...
Basically, any one of the cars you have had over the years...
Just send the photo - and a brief description of the car (Make, Year, Model and when you owned it)- to John Close at -
Don't worry about the condition of the photo... John will 'clean them up,' title them, and then pass them on to Sue Piarulli who has promised to turn all into a special display for our reunion weekend Friday-Saturday, October 16-17...
As always, thanks for playing along...

As always, you can also pay at the door for either night of the reunion - but remember that pre-registering and pre-paying means you won't have to spend any time standing in line waiting to pay at any of our reunion weekend events.
We also appreciate you pre-registering and pre-paying as this will give the reunion committee flexibility in scheduling / reserving specific portions of the reunion that require pre-planning, venue deposits, and reunion supplies.
Watch your e-mail as well as our class Facebook and Web pages for updates about all the exciting events we’ll have on tap throughout Reunion Weekend, Friday-Saturday, October 16-17…
That said – See you in October!...
