Dewain Lanfear was at Division Avenue High School for 22 years, 18 as a history teacher





Two members of Division Avenue High School's class of 1960 returned to their alma mater as teachers. Yesterday we featured Jack Ellerkamp, today we get a glimpse of Dewain Lanfear, including a recent picture and photos from the 1960 and 1975 yearbooks.

Dewain - It's time for you to pen your first book. Please put me down for a copy. If you write about Mr. Quirk's Cit Ed class,feel free to change my name. Just kidding. That's where I remember you bet and most fondly. Good wishes to you and Marti.
