March '25 Reunion Reminders & Updates:

This final gathering of our class is about reconnecting and celebrating our past. Fostering positive connections with former classmates and reminiscing about shared history. Remembering the good times and celebrating each other for who we are today. Honoring those who served. Pausing to remember those we’ve lost. Some classmates remained close to home. For others, education venues, careers and family needs created opportunities in places far and wide. In the end what brings us together is that we really care about and respect each other. Then and now.

When the reunion count-down timer was placed here in March ’24, it showed 270+ days to go. Now, the timer shows only 40 days until the final reunion of the LSE Class of ’65.

The cutoff date for the lodging block is Friday, April 10.
A block of hotel rooms is being held for reunion attendees at The Lincoln Marriott Cornhusker Hotel. The hotel is at 333 S. 13^th St., Lincoln, NE 68508.

Rooms are held in the name of the LSE Class of ’65 Reunion. Unused rooms will be released on Saturday, April 11. The cancellation deadline is 48 hours before your arrival date. With this safeguard in place, there is no reason to wait to make reservations.

Reserve a hotel room.
Call the toll-free Marriott Reservations number 888.236.2427. Mention the LSE Class of ’65 Reunion Room Block 2025 with Reference Number M-T2GEW3X or,

The reunion registration deadline is Monday, April 21. This deadline will drive our food guarantees and the creation of personalized nametags. Some classmates did not receive the materials we mailed in January. That happened if a street address on our website was inaccurate. It is easy to correct this problem.

UPDATE: For the Saturday, May 10 Pershing Mural Program

Major General Roger Lempke, a retired United States Air Force officer, was the adjutant general of the Nebraska National Guard. Maj. General Lempke supports the remarkable efforts to preserve and repurpose the Pershing Mural. Maj. General Lempke will join Artist Liz-Shea McCoy and our classmates at The Wyuka Stables at 10 am on Sat. May 10 for an interesting presentation w/Q&A.

Part of Maj. General Lempke’s commitment to this project stems from the interesting connection between General of the Armies John J. Pershing (another military leader with NE ties) and Pershing Auditorium. Nebraskan’s from all over the state - those of the greatest generation and their baby boomer offspring [That’s Us!] - have memories of events of all kinds at the auditorium, and the 38 x 140-foot mural, depicting life in Nebraska in the post-war period, is emblazoned in our memories.

July 15, 2023, marked the 75th anniversary of General of the Armies John J. Pershing’s death. That date also marked the one-year anniversary of the removal of 763,000 ceramic tiles from Pershing Auditorium to preserve what is known as the Pershing Mural. Research, particularly in Lincoln Journal Star articles by Jim McKee, reveals a fascinating story that preserving the Pershing Mural will help carry on to future generations of Nebraskans.
