Comments: Hello Everyone! OK, OK - I better get something 'posted' on this website, so you all don't get too disappointed. Like, whatever happened to Hanson?? 40 years ...WOW! I have really enjoyed reading everyone's comments.
My heart goes out to those of you that have lost a family member. I know & share "Your Pain". My wife, Bev of 31 years (whom many of you knew) died from Stage 4 Breast Cancer on February 7, 2005. I had 'no clue' she even had it. Bev died "instantly" next to me in the front seat of our car upon returning from cashing a check. Life is so precious, isn't it? Yes, one can be gone in a 'heartbeat'. She had washed 15 loads of laundry the day before as it was 'just another day.' We all move forward...that's all we can do!
Now, I am "dating challenged". Yes, it's a 'Real Hoot', I tell ya'. Some of the events I have gone to remind me of a junior high dance! REALLY!..."far out".
Children:
Jeff (27)..US Air Force. He has been deployed in Italy & Afghanistan, now in the DC area. (Fort Meade, MD.) Going out to see him on June 20th. We have not seen him since Thanksgiving. Will be a busy week with reunion & all! But a fun one!
Melissa (30) Going to UNO for Dental Hygiene. Licensed Massage Therapist. Lives in Omaha.
Joel (36) Stepson Lives in Vermillion, SD. Teaches music part-time at USD. Grandkids..Jody (14) and Josch (12).
Me...Have a MS in Construction Management and returned to UNO in 2002-2004 and received a MS in Educational Administration. Ya'..I was "The Senior Student". The average age of students in the program was 28!! I consult for teachers and administrators (the folks that we need to keep 'humored' sometimes)..or anyone that will listen to me!
I design & implement Career & Vocational Education Programs with life skills and a pipeline to the Workforce. I also work with the state education department in helping to 're-think' the high school experience. Many of my vocational programs have been for at-risk youth & diverse cultures.
One of my assignments took Bev and I to Casper, WY....first day we were there we ran into Dale & Linda Wolfe at Village Inn. Pretty 'small world', isn't it!
I worked with Tom Osborne alot when when he ran for Governor...as you probably know...he did not make it! I do have some future projects planned with him. It was fun getting to know Tom & Nancy on the campaign trail. Great Americans!
NOW HERE'S A REAL 'BLAST FROM OUR PAST'.
Sometimes I have subbed for OPS. I ran into Everett "Bud" Hopkinson in March, 2006. "Our" 10th grade "Geometry Teacher" 1963-64. He is a substitute teacher for OPS. He has to be '80-100 something', but looks great and still teaching....and still has his 'Boston Accent' So there ya'are. There is hope for all of us!!
I warn All of YOU ahead of time...I am probably the only one that has NOT aged!!
See you all in a few! Karaoke, anyone?? Remember your dark sun glasses! :)

Comments: I just stumbled on to this site and have had a great time reading all the notes. What a terrific site. I am still teaching math; moved to the HS from Junior High in 1996. I no longer coach wrestling but still coach girls track. I came to Lex with the idea of being here for about five years and then get a real job but have had so much fun, I'm still here, thanks to all those great Lex Grads!

Name: Nathan Wize
Class Of: 1992
Faculty: 1998 - 220
Now Living In: Omaha
Comments: Married yes, to Alynne in 1995, we have 2 kids, Emy (1998), and Alex (2000). Graduated from UNK, or they gave me a degree, (which ever way you look at it I won) in Secondary Education. I started my teaching career at good old LHS and loved my 4 years there. Still keep in touch with my former students. I still teach in Omaha for OPS at Wilson Middle School. Wilson is the alternative school for OPS where we try to modify behaviorally challenged students and get them back into a regular middle school or high school.
I enjoy spending time with my family, watching Creighton Athletics and playing ball with my boy. Oh yeah, Husker football still rocks in the fall, but Bluejay basketball rules the roost when it gets cold out.
Feel free to drop an e-mail.

Comments: I was a staff member for the Nebraska State Ed. Assn. until 1999 when I retired for health reasons. Since then have been enjoying time with family (son Stuart and daughter Suzan-each with two boys), wife Diana, hunting and fishing and buying and selling antiques at shows and malls. I work at and manage an antique mall here in Lincoln at 1835 Q St. My wife and I do quite a bit of traveling with our 5th-wheel camper and believe it or not, visit quite a few historical sites. I still miss Lex and the lake and have many fond memories of the 3000 students I had in my classes and those I coached. It's always great to see or hear from former students so would welcome contacts from any of you.
