Lawrence High School alumni inducting three into Hall of Honor

Three Lawrence high school graduates spanning more than 50 years will be inducted on Sunday into the Lawrence High School Alumni Association’s Hall of Honor.

Each year, the association recognizes graduates of Lawrence High School and the former Liberty Memorial High School who have distinguished themselves in their professions or have made significant contributions to society on a state, national or international level.

This year’s inductees are Alan Clark Fisher, LMHS class of 1940; Thomas V. Murray, LHS class of 1965; and Sharyn Lewin, LHS class of 1993.

Fisher, who is being inducted as a “citizen,” served in Europe during World War II as part of the 104 Infantry Division. He has been a member of American Legion Dorsey-Liberty Post No. 14 since 1946. He researched and wrote, “Service After the Service: A History of Dorsey-Liberty Post No. 14,” which chronicles the history of the post from its founding in 1919 until 2002.

Murray, a business litigation attorney with Lathrop & Gage LLP, was selected for Missouri and Kansas “Super Lawyers” in 2013 and 2014. Murray is also on the board of directors of the Reuter Organ Co., 1220 Timberedge Road, and a member of the Kansas University Hall Center for the Humanities advisory board.

Lewin, a gynecologic oncology specialist, was named “physician of the year” in 2011 at New York Presbyterian Hospital. Lewin is the medical director of the gynecologic oncology division at the Regional Cancer Center of Holy Name Medical Center. Lewin is also the president and executive director of The Lewin Fund to Fight Women’s Cancers, a nonprofit organization that helps fund and develop women’s cancer research initiatives and support programs.

The association will induct the three alumni into the Hall of Honor at 2 p.m. Sunday in the LHS rotunda, 1901 Louisiana St. The event is free and open to the public, and a reception will follow the ceremony.
