EHS Class of 1961 reunion committee recently toured the Lerner Theatre which is under construction.  For those of you who are not up-to-date on Elkhart happenings, the Lerner Theatre is the old Elco plus the addition of land on the corner of Franklin and Main  …and it is being restored into a beautiful arts and entertainment center.   We are tentatively going to hold our 50th class reunion there on August 19th and 20th, 2011.

        Here are a few of the members in their hard hats !! ….  and a worker detailing the gorgeous ceiling.
