Welcome

Welcome to Educational Memories. It's a place on the Internet to post memories about our shared educational experiences, particularly for members of the Class of 1960 of the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools. Ellen O'Farrell Leavitt and Phil Leavitt (both class of 1960) are our contact people and all 1960 alumni/ae should already have their e-mail addresses. So, post your memories, comments, photos, urls, and so forth. Continue the great time we all had together recently (with many thanks to the Leavitts and committee) at our 50th reunion on the south side of Chicago!

The Reunion Committee was composed of, in addition to the Leavitts:  Laurie Braude | Chuck Buben | Nancy DeLee Frank | David Epstein | Cass Friedberg | Richard Goldsmith | Barbara Horwich Lloyd | Hal Lieberman | Karen Lisco Lieberman | Merle Luftig | Gail Mosley Libman | David Passman | Earl Silbar.

Links to UHighlights (Yearbooks) from Sandy Lach Arlinghaus's autobiographical website: 1960 | 1959 | 1958 | 1957 | 1956 |. The Yearbook files are quite large and may take quite a bit of time to load (they may not load over a slow connection).
