This note came from Maureen on 1/26/01

As you can see by our email addresses, two Lane graduates live together here in Claremont, Virginia. Bob Alhouse (June '53 graduate) and Maureen Lewis (June '53 graduate) married  in November 1957. After 31 years of moving around with Bob's military career we ended up retired in Virginia.  We are very interested in a 2003 reunion and you may certainly show our address to the group and post our names and address on the web.                         

                         We are anxious to hear from you in the future about the big event.
                                      Thanks,
                                        Maureen (Lewis) Alhouse

SCROLL DOWN TO SEE US NOW

Here's a picture of us after our hot air balloon ride in Arizona  7 Jan 2001.

   Bob and I did not date in high school. We knew each other from groups sitting around tables at the B.C. We also sat near each other in Mr. Mannheimer's Solid Geometry class. He went off to Georgia Tech and I attended Queens College. During our first year in college my girlfriends and I felt the usual let down of being lowly freshmen after a very active and social senior year in high school. We decided to write to some of our old classmates to try to get together when we were all home for Christmas break. I selected Bob and we started dating that Christmas and for the next four years    
   November 1957 we married after I had graduated and was teaching school in East Meadow. Then four months later Bob received greetings from his Uncle Sam.  This began our 31 year military odyssey. We spent many years moving around the U.S., and lived in Germany from 1959 -1962,  in Ethiopia from 1967-1969, and Korea from 1981-1984.  In between Bob spent two tours in Viet Nam, while I stayed with the three kids and taught school.  By the end of the 31 year career, Bob had progressed from drafted private to the rank of COL and acquired a B.S. and M.S. degree.  Our last tour was at Ft. Lee, VA so we ended up in a 125 year old house overlooking the James River.  Here we entertain our six grandchildren and travel (both as often as we can). It's been  a GREAT LIFE!!  Who would have thought it 50 years ago.
