The Lynchburg High School Class of 1965 recently gathered at Cape May Campus Center Wilmington to celebrate a remarkable milestone – their 60th class reunion.
Held in a spirit of joy and reflection, the event brought together classmates who hadn’t seen each other in years, along with those who have remained lifelong friends.
Laughter and memories filled the air as attendees, which also included former teachers, Jim Luck and Dan Raisch, shared stories of high school days, remembered those who have passed, and marveled at the journey from youth to the present.
The reunion included a program highlighting key moments from 1965, music from the era, and a display of photos and memorabilia that brought back fond memories.
While much has changed over the decades, the bond of friendship and shared history remains strong. The reunion was not just a celebration of the past – it was a testament to the enduring spirit of a class that continues to cherish its legacy and one another.
Here's to the last graduating class of Lynchburg High School – still going strong, six decades later.
