35th reunion 2003:

• $100 donation to the Barnette’s Landing beautification project. The “Lathrop High School Class of 1968” is listed on the plaque on the riverfront by Cowles and 1 st. Fairbanks Festival, Inc. is cleaning up the riverbank, providing and installing an original decorative fence with log posts, building several river look-outs, flower beds and placing benches along the walking/bike path. The goal is to start downtown, extend to Pioneer Park (originally called Alaskaland), cross the river and extend the upgraded path to downtown.

• $2,295 donation to help preserve the Rusty Heurlin painting in the Lathrop High School library. The Class of ‘68 spearheaded the project to appraise, clean and protect the 64” long x 34”tall Rusty Heurlin dog mushing scene painting which hangs in the Lathrop High School library. The painting had been hanging there for many years and needed cleaning. New Horizon Art Gallery donated an appraisal and put a value on the painting of $42,500. The painting was crated and shipped to Colorado for cleaning. The painting was returned along with a protective plexi-glass covering and the painting is now cleaned and protected. The Lathrop library club paid the remaining $1,225.00 cost of the project, and the Lathrop student council reimbursed the library club. The library club normally buys books, periodicals, software and computers.

• Landscape project in front of Hering Auditorium. There were two lonely birch trees in front of the Hering Auditorium. We decided to add some shrubs and other trees that came from classmate’s property….Mark acres, the Herning and Rinear homesteads on Chena Hot Springs Road and the Plowman property. We dug up sod, lined the perimeter with edging, shoveled in some new dirt, planted the shrubs/trees, put down landscape cloth and shoveled on some wood chips. We did it in two sessions. The first session was a Friday evening…almost record high temperature. The second session was the Sunday of our 35 th class reunion…we had record rains. We looked like drowned garden helpers….but we had fun. And we ended up at the Co-op coffee shop and laughed about our fun times.
