Website: Barbara Ebert (Assistance with this website was provided by Greg Wutschel. Many thanks to Greg for taking the time to make this site come to fruition. The Lafollette class of 1969 is forever grateful.)
Mike and Jim report they spoke with Mrs. Breitenbach and she was delighted the class has placed a memorial bench on the school football grounds. She said this would have meant a lot to the Coach as he remembered his victorious years at LaFollette with pride and fond memories. Dedication of the bench will be on Thursday July 24, 2009 at 11am on the football field at LaFollette High School. Please note the classmates that contributed to this bench, without these contributions we could not have pushed this forward!! Thank you so much.
