On February 7, LREI held an alumni archives night at the high school. Alumni from the 1950’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s were in attendance, and a fun evening of wine, pizza, and photographs was had by all.
A million thanks to everyone who came and pitched in! Without the help of alumni (as well as current students, faculty, and staff) the archives will never be complete. No matter how well I organize and categorize the thousands of photographs in the LREI archives, I will never be able to perform the most crucial task of identifying and describing the contents of the images. This is entirely up to the LREI community and their iron-clad memories. This task is what makes an archive come alive, adding incalculable value to its contents.
Without the help of alumni, we would never have been able to identify these photographs:
with Erica Herzig, Susan Davidman, Susan Sacks
Students: Bobby Straus, Linda White, Joan Matthews, Hank Lifson, Stephen Kappell, Emily Pinado, John Baer, Michael Fields, Bobby Schneck
These photographs reflect LREI’s rich history, but only through identification and context can they truly tell our school’s story. If you are an LREI alumni and would like to attend the next Archives Night, please contact Elisabeth Ingwersen Mendez at eingwersenmendez@lrei.org.
