Lawrence Alfred Myers

He was my Russian language teacher, and lived down the street from me on Jacaranda Pl.

My favorite French teacher, 1956-60

I am the librarian at Fullerton Union High School. I just named our new computers after favorite teachers of the past, and Mr. Myers has one named after him because so many alumni recommended him as a favorite of theirs. In our school archives we have a newsletter Mr. Myers did in his French classes in the 1950s to send to students in other countries telling them about student life in the United States. The snapshot Les Nouvelles de Fullerton provide of life in Orange County in the 1950s...

Just today I was thinking about my four years of high school French, 1956-1960. Mr. Myers was my teacher all those years. I'm still waiting to get to Paris to see all those sights he made us memorize.

I DID NOT HAVE MR. MYERS AS A TEACHER, WHILE ATTENDING FUHS; BUT I BECAME ACQUAINTED WITH HIM AT THE ANNUAL ALL ALUMNI POW WOW LUNCHEONS. I PURCHASED HIS BOOK "HEY, NAZIS, I'M COMING FOR YOU" HIS MEMORIES OF COUNTER INTELLIGENCE CORPS ACTIVITIES IN WORLD WAR II. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.

Mr. Myers was a teacher at Fullerton Union High School from 1936 to 1972. I was in his beginning Spanish class in 1953 and I was happy to see him many years later still active and participating in school events.
He came to the annual Alumni Pow Wow luncheon several times, but he couldn’t make it this March because he was in the hospital. We were all sad to hear that.
I have put the notice of his death on the All-Alumni blog.
We have lost a school treasure.
