LWHS Late 80s - Tom?

Posted by CV on 12/1/2024, 2:51 pm

Came across this letterman’s jacket at an antique store in NYC over the holiday break. Was surprised and thought this message board might have some clues as to who Tom from LWHS is. This was the Paul Jackson / Tom Sewell era of KingCo if I have my history right. Anyone have an idea of what the last name was (nothing on the back), or know of anyone at LWHS at that time? If this person is still with us and is interested would love to reunite them with this.

Just saw this post. Unfortunately Doug Chapple who was the head coach at the time passes away. I’ll contact a few of my former wrestlers from those years to see if they can make a connection.

If you have not already done so, you might check inside the side pockets of that jacket and see if the manufacture or distributor didn't sew a label with the first initial and last name of the intended recipient. Both my HS and College jackets in the 70's had one. Good Luck!

Did some sleuthing

There's a good chance it's Tom Ederer. Looking at the 1989 LW yearbook, he's one of 3 Toms who graduated that year and the only one to play football (there are no Toms on the wrestling team page and neither the 87 or 88 yearbooks are available online).
