The Vietnam Wall

     Footnote and the National Archives held a press conference this morning in Washington, D.C. to unveil a new interactive online Vietnam War Memorial. This Footnote project features the largest photo of The Wall on the Internet (at full size, the photo on Footnote is about 460 feet wide). The project has been several months in the making and provides an interactive experience for finding names on The Wall as well as service record and casualty report information for each soldier listed. Viewers may also upload photos and create tributes connected to any name on The Wall.

     Please take a moment to view a short video about how one veteran found a fallen friend on The Wall and add your own tribute today. The video is on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scwMAgCLdks
or on the Footnote site at http://www.footnote.com/thewall

     I went to the Footnote web site and registered. I then looked to see if Jack Hinkle was listed on The Vietnam Memorial Wall. I was able to download an image of his name, which you will see below:

TO:     CLASS OF 1958

FROM:      BILL SERNA

DATE:       JULY 16, 2007

SUBJECT:      CLASS OF 1958 50TH CLASS REUNION


     In 2008, our graduating “Class of 1958”, will be celebrating it’s 50th year. I have recently spoken to some of our classmates regarding their thoughts on how we should celebrate this occasion. The majority have chosen to take another cruise. I can tell you that if we do choose another cruise, it will be a Caribbean Cruise in either March or April, 2008, and for either 5 or 7 days. This seems to be the best time of year to go weather wise.

     I have also talked to a few other people who graduated from Lyons, either before or after our Class of 1958, that are interested in joining us. In the first cruise we took for our 45th, we actually had a few from other graduating classes that came along and everyone enjoyed getting together. With a Cruise, you will have plenty of time to visit and catch up. This being the case, we would like to open up the invitation to any Lyons graduate who attended Lyons School or just drove thru, before or after 1958, who has an interest in joining our class on a cruise. Please remember that a Passport will be need to take this cruise.

     Before I go ahead and book another cruise and begin to reserve rooms, I would like to get a better feel for how many are interested in taking this cruise. Please let me know your thoughts and interest by phone (419) 923-3452, or email jmcserna@hotmail.com as soon as possible. I will need to proceed on this rather quickly to get it booked. More details of the cruise, description and how much it will cost etc. will soon follow. Thanks.

Adrianne SERNA, a daughter of two Lyons graduates, 'Jr.' SERNA & Jeannie NOLAN, has produced a CD of her songs called "Another Day In America". She has a web site, http://www.poorgirlrecords.com/ which has downloadable excerpts from four of her songs. She has a wonderful voice and the CD is well worth the modest cost. Please listen to her songs and support the cause.
