L-R Marilyn Todd, Greg Todd, Peter Barr ’99, James G. Amato ’49, Daniel F. Kennedy ’63, Brigid L. Devries ’67, Deacon John E. Hinkel, Jr. ’73
The Lexington Catholic Hall of Fame recognizes graduates who have a record of outstanding service to their profession or community, and have distinguished achievement.
The Hall of Fame Class of 2019 was inducted on Friday, October 25, at Malone’s Prime for lunch, and then they were introduced prior to the LCHS football game that evening. This is an outstanding class with James G. Amato ’49 (former Lexington mayor), Peter Barr ’99 (tennis standout), Brigid L. Devries ’67 (first female commissioner of the KHSAA), Deacon John E. Hinkel, Jr. ’73 (former Board of Trustee’s Chair and member) Daniel F. Kennedy ’63 (founder of the Sarasota Military Academy), Dr. Edward and Marilyn Todd (continued valuable LCHS support for 30 years) and Greg Todd (LCHS girls’ basketball coach with 3 state championships and 2 runners-up titles). The accomplishments next to their names above are just a few of the many accomplishments and awards they have received. They are role models in the community and set a high standard for others to follow. They were introduced at the lunch and gave speeches, which we wish everyone could have heard. The main word that stood out from all of them was family…their family and their LCHS family. We are blessed to be part of such a warm, supportive community that embraces everyone and gives our students the foundation of mind, spirit, and body needed to succeed in all their future endeavors. Congratulations to our Class of 2019!
