Mr

Does anyone else remember Mr. Lyeth? He was NNHS's one and only drafting teacher. His classes were male only then...

I remember Mr. Lyeth. When I was at NNHS, I was the only female in drafting class.

In answer to Ray's (Barnes - '65 - of VA) question regarding Mr. Lyeth--I took drafting under him in that same semester--at the time I had absolutely no concept of drafting or what was hidden under the streets or in the walls and was beyond a bad drafting student!! Today I know. To my good fortune, Mr. Lyeth was a basketball fan and close follower of our NNHS teams. So, he struck a deal with me if would continue to play basketball--NO problem--and never take drafting again--NO problem--I would "pass" the semester. Yep, athletes did get some breaks--surprised? Don't be!!

I also remember whenever the SPD would have a car wash, he always came and paid more than we asked--I liked him, not because of that--but because he was really a nice man.

Thanks, Wayne!

Ray Barnes ('65 - of VA) requested information about Harry Lyeth - Well, Mr. Lyeth was my father in law. He was
a very quiet and kind person who was very proud of his 3 sons and 2 grandchildren. He always enjoyed the grandkids.
Sadly, he died too soon for my kids to really remember a lot about him.

Mr. Lyeth was born and raised in a small town in up state NY. Lake Clear, NY is about 25 miles north of Lake Placid.
He always missed being in the Adirondacks of NY. He was a hunter, and loved to sail.

He met his wife in Oswego NY where he attended college. They had a long and happy marriage. She was a nurse.

I feel blessed to have been part of their family. Many fond memories. IF Ray has any other questions - I will be happy
to try to answer them. My email address is josiet@cox.net.
