More Back to the Future News.....A group of Lee Elementary alumni got together
for a special presentation to the graduating 5th grade classes at Lee.
Pictured above are Susie Cottler, Barbara Duski, Val Sabin, Judee Williams, Jeri Hemphill
and Roger Wyatt having lunch at Hof's on Bellflower following the presentation. See Kindergarten Baby page 6 for
full details......
Returning to our Roots !
June 18, 2007, Roger Wyatt, Susie Cottler, Judee Williams and Val Sabin visited
Robert E. Lee Elementary school to provide motivation and inspiration to the graduating fifth graders. They spoke to over
100 boys and girls about their experiences of growing up in Long Beach. Subjects discussed were the importance of staying
in school, succeeding through hard work, treating people with fairness and esteeming one's self. Susie showed them her judge's
robe and gavel, Judee shared the book she wrote, "Drama is Optional" and Roger explained that more education equals bigger
income ! It was a surreal experience to be back on the same playground, cafeteria and classroom that we graduated from a mere
fifty years ago! - Val Sabin
Can you believe it!!!!!
On May 26, 2007, the Reunion Committee met to begin planning our 45th Reunion. Stay tuned for details as they happen.

A Guide For Teens
Judee Ausnow
Have you ever wanted to be
more popular? How about have more meaningful relationships with your family and friends? Or would you like all the everyday
drama with school, friends, and work to just disappear? Then let Drama Is Optional: A Guide for Teens show you how
to manage stress and find balance in every aspect of your daily life.
As a teenager, it’s easy to get sucked into the drama of everyday life. But you have a choice as to how
it affects you. Through easy-to-understand and candid discussions, author Judee Ausnow touches on the key points you need
to help you control your thoughts and reactions in chapters with topics such as:
- Making Choices
- Choosing Forgiveness
- Creating Good Relationships
- Our Character
- The Secret to Healthy Weight
How you perceive your life dictates how you live it. Learn what it feels like to be proud of yourself, to know that you
are living up to your potential, and to discover real happiness. Drama Is Optional is your first step to finding your
inner success!
You can order it on Amazon.com

BACK TO THE FUTURE?
These 9 classmates, who graduated from Lee Elementary School

Have you read Susie Cottler Carter's Book? Here's your
chance to order a copy now.
What makes us who we are? Is it biology? Is it environment? Is
it a combination of both? It is an age-old argument and one that may never be settled. One thing that is certain, however,
is the fact that some people triumph over challenging circumstances better than others. Susan Borges offers a beautiful illustration
of this in her new novel, "Strawberry Field."
