Mr. Dosedel, who taught at Lakenheath High School during the 70's (and beyond?) was/is a fantastic teacher.
Ginger Dosedel, daughter-in-law of the esteemed Mr. Dosedel, is person-of-the-week (ABC News, 23 March 2007).
Hats off to Ginger Dosedel who has assembled a cadre of volunteers to sew clothing for injured vets. No matter what you think about the war, this is an effort worth supporting. If you've been trying to figure out what you could do to help returning vets, Ginger's project is a good option.
I am a big fan of Mr. Dosedel. I was lucky enough to have him for biology, and US History too. My only regret is that by the time we got to WWII, it was the end of the school year and we didn't cover it as thoroughly as I would have liked. Even in the 70's, it seemed that Britain was still reeling from the War, with both dramas and comedies about the war on tv.

We're Launched!
Lakenheath High School's Class of 1977 is planning a 30-year reunion for August of 2007, and this is the blog that will bring you all the latest news and information about it.
Your fearless reunion committee (Lee Herrera '77, Donna Lopez Powers '77 and Kelly Russell '77 to name a few) had such a fantastic time in Las Vegas (thank you '76ers!). We still have a healthy case of reunion after-glow, and we are already in the final stages of negotiation with the Melrose Hotel in Washington, D.C. To check out their website click here.
The rates for double occupancy are $129/with one “American style” breakfast included/ $139 with two breakfasts/ $149 with three/ etc. This is a fantastic rate to stay in our Nation’s Capitol and to celebrate the big 30! We've also secured a great rate on parking...only $10 + tax/ per night (usually it is $25). There are three airports in the area--Dulles (only 15 minutes away), Reagan National (even closer), and Baltimore (for those of us who have succumbed to Southwest Airlines).
We need some feedback regarding the date. We have two options: August 9-11, 2007 or August 16-18, 2007. Please post a comment on this blog with your preference by Friday, July 14. Or e-mail us at Lakenheath77@gmail.com.
No matter what year we graduated and no matter where we meet next, we have a bond that we share from living in England in the 1970s. We hope to see you next August in D.C.!
