An invitation to march from Kathy Aga Lee
Happy Labor Day Weekend Stan,
Bet there aren't many of your blog readers who can boast being on the committee for the JHS Homecoming Parade and having a son who's a senior at JHS. Guess I was always a little delayed.
Anyway, I'm writing in the hopes you will post an invitation to ALL JHS alumni to march in the homecoming parade this year.
The district is doing someting brand new this year and having the parade, pep rally and football game on a Saturday afternoon. First try at afternoon game. So here are the details.
Saturday, Sept. 27
The big day is Saturday, September 27. The parade starts at 12:30 p.m. with the staging at Jefferson. Last year the alumni division was BIG. We had JHS alumni going all the way back to the late 1930s. There was a haywagon for those who didn't want to walk. The parade route will be from Jefferson to Fifth and Broadway. Red T-shirts are available, printed with the appropriate year of graduation. Buses will take marchers back to the high school for a pep fest, tailgating party and the football game.
Tom Lehman is the grand marshal. He is bringing his entire family, including his folks, to be in the parade. Tom will also be honored at the Cardinal Foundation luncheon on Friday, Sept. 26, and of course, all alumni are encouraged to attend that. But now I'm getting out of my domain.
Good old school district 206 is putting together a web site with all the info. But for alumni to get into the parade and get a T-shirt, the contact person in the district is Jill Johnson at 320-762-2141. Her e-address is jjohnson@alexandria.k12.mn.us
Thanks Stan. FYI God had it right when he planned on parents being young. Not only am I worn out from staying up 'til the kid is home, I'm at a point in life when $40,000 a year for college is making my retirement 
look very dismal. I won't be having a log palace on the banks of a local lake for my retirement home.
Doubt you remember, but I was a reporter in Black Pete's class when you were an editor for the school paper. You were always beating on me for my spelling errors and abundance of commas. Nothing has changed.
