                        the committee of the MTHS 1970 40 Year Class
                        reunion:
              
               
              
              In
                        as much as we are in the spirit of giving
                        thanks, the Middletown Lion Hall of
                        Fame wishes to express our
                        gratitude to the MTHS 1970 Reunion
                        committee for your generous
                        donation.   Just to fill you
                        in, along with recognizing so many of
                        our illustrious student-athletes &
                        coaches, the LHOF funds the Harold
                        "Bud" Foulks Scholarship.  For those
                        who may not remember, Bud Foulks was a 1932
                        graduate of Leonardo HS, served as our Mayor
                        when we were in high school and was always
                        active with community affairs.  Like
                        so many of you, he was a big advocate of
                        anything to do with the Orange and Black!! 
              
               
              
               Since
                        1991 we have recognized one male and one female
                        graduate of Middletown HS North with a
                        scholarship.  We recognize students who
                        participated in a sport (did not have to be a
                        superstar), was involved in school and community
                        activities and has a financial need.  The
                        latter criteria is an important factor. 
                        This is quite heartwarming for the LHOF
                        Committee as there have been instances where our
                        scholarship made the difference as to whether or
                        not the student could afford college.  In
                        the early years, we used to award $1000 per
                        student, but due to the economy we now can only
                        provide $500 per student. Thus, the MTHS 1970
                        donation is truly appreciated!
              
               
               
               
              
              Best
                        regards,  and I wish everyone a Happy
                        Thanksgiving!!
