Thanks Keith for bringing back a lot of memories…Dave Halter sent this to me and my wife (Erin Simons…LHW 78)

We maried 3 months after she graduated LHW and never returned to the Motor City. We both could not believe what has happened to a special place for both of us. It’s been 36 years since I walked those halls and scrambled to beat the train !!!

Thanks for bringing back some great memories. We are cheering for Detroit to make a comeback. It still is “home” to us both.

Many great memories at West…great teachers, great friends, but most of all a faith that bonded us beyond whatever nonsense was going on in the world around us. I really appreciate being “taken back” but in many ways West has never left me. Thanks….Greg Seltz, ’78′

Just heard that Lutheran West’s neighbor, the former RosaryHigh School, was torn down in the last couple of weeks. It is sad. There are many great memories that live on.

An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a co-worker who had been conducting a little research on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I discovered it for him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending time to discuss this issue here on your site.

I attended there for 2 years only…I was so shy then, I would barely speak.
Too many pretty girls in one place at one time I was overwhelmed.

My tennis career started there. I still play (never professionally but wanted to). I wasn’t good enough to make the basketball team.

I got my first job there as a math tutor, and worked in the library. I think the librarian’s name was Ms. Mitken. Then off to Cass Tech for my last two years.

Everyone seemed so grown. Now high school kids are….kids

I really liked gym class where we even learned to dance and jump rope. We stretched before every activity, and I still stretch before I exercise.

I remember the Math teacher was a pastor, and ran a tight ship. He was really good. Biology and German class were fun. I felt I got a good education there.
