In just 110 days, the LHS Class of 1989 will celebrate its 30th high school reunion (on Saturday, March 30, 2019 at 7pm in the back room of the infamous Downtown Lounge) ... and to get us excited about that milestone, I'll be presenting four special TOP 30 lists -- a different one for each of the months ahead.
The December list will be the top 30 most memorable teachers/staff (see rules below), and tonight, we're remembering THE ROTHERMELS -- both BARBARA and CRAIG (seen here in their pictures from our yearbook; bonus link to some creepy webpage that tells you what kind of car he drives below).
Okay ... okay ... maybe it's not quite right to lump Mr. and Mrs. together as one person in the countdown ... but, as it turns out, the Rothermels weren't the only married couple working at the high school -- and they won't be the only couple to be featured together in one spot in this countdown (more will be revealed as we get closer to #1 this New Year's Eve).
And, on a personal note, I actually never had *either* of these popular instructors. I'm all but positive that Mrs. taught English and Mr. taught Math -- it's just that neither one taught ME English or Math in my four years there. Maybe someone reading this post over on the Facebook will have a favorite memory of both (or either) to share.
Here's to you, Mr. and Mrs. Rothermel!
RULES FOR THIS TOP 30 LIST: Honorees must be one of the ninety individuals listed in the faculty pages of the '89 yearbook (which means two thirds of the list are already not going to be referenced). Honorees may also be selected from the photos of support staff as well (so long as they are on the surrounding pages of the same section). Honorees must be memorable (if there are no stories, then there will be no post about that person). Honorees are chosen and ranked by me (if you disagree, start your own list on your own blog). All memories are believed to be accurate (but are being told through the lens of thirty or more years, so ... you know.)
