LHS Classmate's Lakeland Business and Art Collection Lost in Fire

 
 A fire this afternoon, February 10, 2008, destroyed the building housing LHS classmate Hugh Turbeville's Army/Navy store. Also lost in the fire was Hugh's extensive collection of art. Those of you who attended the Friday night session of the last class reunion at Hugh's Garden Club building will remember seeing these wonderful art pieces. No lives were lost and no one was injured; however, the loss of this art collection is a genuine tragedy

    Hugh, We are saddened to read of your tragic loss. And, we remember the wonderful paintings you allowed us to enjoy, last reunion, Friday night. You both will be in our thoughts and prayers. We are so happy that there were no injuries - or worse! Charlyne and Jerry
