BIO:
Yes, I went all years to an AH school.........Began at Woodridge and transferred to Cambridge in the 3rd grade.... it was the first time "tether ball" was introduced to us as something to do.
Do in my spare time: Spare Time. What in the world is that?
What is important to me: God, my three sons and husband
I would like to be remembered: as an I Can Do Anything person, or rather I Can Learn Anything person
My advice to my children: Have never ending faith and you will be fine.......YOU CAN DO ANYTHING
No military but have had other experiences such as Walk to Emmaus and many travels
Adventurous thing: taking my 9 year old son to NYC alone and moving 2 of my sons to SA after 21 years in a very very small town
I am most proud of: my three sons and the people they are becoming
My greatest accomplishment: is the various work experiences I have done, most of which I had absolutely no training when I was hired. Ex: Medical field, Accounting, Office Manager, etc ( I have my Masters in Elem Ed)
On a day off: I like to visit family and friends and just relax
Mr. Eng! one of my favorite teachers! and he is still teaching (2002/2003 is his last year) and is teaching my youngest son! I remember the first day of his class....Mr. Eng for Spanish.....I was in class with Cos Luchese! Mr. Eng was so good and smart but I just did not get it.....esp all of the conjugating verbs.....I made an F on my final in May and called him from Suzi Sledge's house asking why he had done that....cause I knew my dad would come unraveled....he said it had not done that much damage to my average...anyway, thru the years, I would run into him at Mi Tierra's or in an elevator somewhere and he always remembered me.

Then, when my son Marty went to Spanish this year as a freshman, he was in way over his head so they switched him to Mr. Eng's Soph level Spanish and when Marty walked in 5 days after school had started, Mr. Eng said, "you are Lynn's son, right?" Marty was furious that I had interfered and called up to school but that was not the case, and Mr. Eng told him. We had a great reunion at Back to School Nite....and he is a favorite of Marty's......and Mr. Eng looks just like he did the year he started at AH.....he has been written up as teacher of the year and several other awards. ~ Lynn Erben Gillaspy

May 2003 - Mr. Eng's Retirement
 ... had a great time celebrating Sr. Eng's retirement after 35 years at AHHS......lots of people there to celebrate with him & all of us were blown away at the "details" of our classes that he recalled....Such as he told Mark Jacobs & I what period we had him, who was in our class....etc. It was incredible......also saw Mrs. Ransom, one of the English teachers from way back when....Susan McCullough Altgelt was there....they looked great....had a wonderful visit with Dr. Mark Jacobs, Lyn Straus Selig, Cynthia Cooper, and so many more.....it was really fun......
