Boys Basketball Alumni Night The first annual Boys Basketball Alumni Night was held in early January. Former Lions players returned to campus for a pre-game reception with Head Coach Ryan Koudele in the Murray Athletic Center. Afterwards, the gathering moved to Wallace Gym as Lovett took on Wesleyan. During halftime, the alumni players were recognized before the crowd. Thank you to Alumni Captain Taylor Mack ‘10 and co-Captains Mat Barnwell ‘04 and Brad Brizendine ‘05 for coordinating this gathering.

President of a division for Crane Payment Innovations (CPI), where we manufactured electronics for currency validation. In December 2015, I was named President of Crane Merchandising Systems. My wife, Leslie, and I live in Atlanta with our three kids, Ford (8), Graham (5), and Gigi (3). We recently moved from Brookhaven back into the house I grew up in off of Moores Mill and Howell Mill to be closer to Lovett (my two oldest are in second grade and kindergarten).” Class of 1995

Lovett
A quote by Led Zepplin, “Good Times, Bad Times, you know I’ve had my share...”, sums up 2015 for us. Having celebrated our 20-year reunion and enjoyed fine food and beverage at Verde Collier Hills, we were all devastated to hear of the passing of our classmate John Hunter Lapelle. John was a shining beacon of friendship, fun, laughter, and kindness. There was no one he met, Lovett classmate or otherwise, that could not call him a friend. He had a heart as big as his smile, and a passion for life, music, and friendship. John will be missed by one and all, and we are all poorer for not having had more time with him.
