In Memory

Larry Ray Thomas

Larry Ray Thomas

According to an Alamogordo Daily News picture and article in the late Spring 1970, members of the Student Council accepted memorial trees, planted in front of the new high school, "in memory of Larry Thomas, a former student at AHS who died recently in Roswell".

From Pam Melton - If anyone has more details of Larry's life (exact birth and death dates; name and contact information of any family members), please contact me.  These trees are beautiful now, and I would like to see a 'memorial' plaque placed by them.
