HomeMy WebLinkAboutLincoln Reunion Letter 1990 January, 1990 Dear Former Student: As we look back over the decade of the eighties, we are proud of the accomplishments we've made, also grateful that things have gone well for us. Now, that we have entered the decade of the nineties , hopefully, bigger and better things will come our way. It is unbelievable, that it has been two years since our last reunion. "Oh How The Time Flies ". Many things have tran- spired during the past two years. Our organization has continues to function in a pleasant and unified manner, which brings one particular scripture to mind: Psalms 133:1 "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" We strive to do everything in unity, therefore, minor conflicts, which are few, are easily resolved. Since we are all God fearing members, of the Lincoln Former Students Association, our lives have been enriched, by always putting God first. We applaud, our president, James E. Steen, who has done an excellent along with all officers and members who have worked diligently to keep this organization moving forward. We've shared some wonderful and worthwhile experiences. During the "Christmas Open House, 1988, at the College Station Communi- ty Center, on Jersey Street, we represented with a display of "Lincoln High School Memorabilia" as well as "Black Art ". Needless to say, we were very proud of our display. Many people were unaware that a black school ever existed in College Sta- tion. We have continued to give scholarships to graduating seniors of A &M Consolidated High School. Our social events have been well attended and supported by most of you. We take this time to express our appreciation. To name a few events" "Christmas Gala, 88 -89, Spring Musicals, 88 -89, Hawaiian Luau, Concert rendered by Doretha Steen Sanders, L. A.
