20170921 "FINAL" Draft of Lee Stone Letter
Here is what might be the Final Letter draft of the letter to be sent out about the Stone Scholarship
Dear
Asheboro High School Alumni:
We are
writing to ask your help with a project many believe is long overdue. Members
of several classes from the Lee J. Stone era at Asheboro High School are
banding together to establish a scholarship endowment in memory of Coach Stone.
For those of
you from the Stone era, he needs no introduction. For those who aren’t, he took
athletics, especially football, to a remarkable level. In doing so, he made successful
men of young boys whose lives were changed for the better forever.
Stone is
the only coach in AHS history to be inducted into the NC Sports Hall of Fame as
well as the NC High School Sports Hall of Fame. Additionally, he was inducted
in the AHS Sports Hall of Fame in it’s inaugural year.
We can
think of no better way to carry on Coach Stone’s legacy than to establish a sports
and academic scholarship endowment which will advance the lives of even more
young people. The scholarship will be available to both male and female
students of any official AHS sport who qualify.
Funding an
endowed scholarship requires a minimum of $15,000. We are confident this can achieved and
surpassed! Initial conversations have
been well received and we have begun receiving contributions giving us a head
start on this project!
Please
consider making a tax-deductible contribution today. Your check should be made
out to the Asheboro City Schools Education Foundation with the Lee J. Stone
Scholarship Endowment Fund on the memo line and send to Asheboro City Schools
Education Foundation, P O Box 1103, Asheboro NC 27204-1103 ATTN Kristen Wright
Thank you
for your help and support. Please be sure you include your mailing address or
an email address so we can acknowledge your contribuyion.

i will send another email re the location.

with his Lord that he loved so much on Saturday, April 8th, 2017 at Randolph Hospice House in Asheboro.
He
was born in Randolph County, where he lived his entire life. W.R. was a
devout Christian man and had a special way of ministering his faith to
so many, and he was considered a trustworthy friend when you needed him.
He had a kind heart and joyful soul. He graduated from Asheboro High
School in 1955, served in the National Guard, was a lifelong member of
The Gideons International of Asheboro, member of Poplar Ridge Friends
Meeting in Trinity where he served on several committees, and a past
Sunday School Teacher.
He
grew up in his father's grocery store business where he worked for
several years. He was a brick mason, Contractor and Farmer. He enjoyed
riding his tractor and tending to his cows, but most of all he enjoyed
being around his family.
He married the love of his life, Nancy Laughlin, on April 22, 1956. From this union they had two children.
He was preceded in death by his father Walter R. Lanier Sr., his mother Eunice Canoy Lanier, his step-mother Iris Adams Lanier.
He
is survived by his wife, Nancy Lanier of the home, son, Michael Ray
Lanier Sr., and wife Dana, daughter, Suzanne L. Sidden, and husband

20161027 Fun at CJs Restaurant in new room !
Click for Pictures
Attendance: See listing at bottom of this page
Book
The book I mentioned at the meeting about a murder in Asheboro about the time we were in high school is White Meteors and the Ghost of AnnMcGee . I am not necessarily recommending it but I would like to know if any one else read it or knew the author J Wayne Frye etc. I find that in the book he is interesting in adding extra comments about how bad some parts of our country are; be interested in any reactions to this. Book written in 2013 but no real review on Amazon. Notice a reference to To Kill a Mockingbird below, but White Meteors should not been mentioned in the same breath with Mockingbird.
Here is one writeup I found:
------------------
AHS 1955 Class,
Have reserved C.J.s Deli for Oct.27th at 11:30 for the class of 55
lunch. They will be putting us in a new private dining room on the side
NOT the back room. I am assured that there is plenty of room and more
privacy.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on our last meeting of the
year.
