Mr. Lanning Lee was honored at the 2006 University Laboratory School Pa’ina celebration as a recipient of the Mahalo Award for his outstanding contribution to students and faculty at the Laboratory School. Although he has at various times been a student, a teacher, an administrator, and a researcher, Lanning Lee, a 1972 ULS graduate, is best known today as the “soul” of the alumni association.

Throughout the years Lanning has dedicated himself to supporting the Laboratory School by reaching out to many of its graduates. In 2001, following an all school reunion on the occasion of the fiftieth graduating class, Lee recruited graduates Leighton Wong, 1973, and Scott Yamashita, 1976, and together the three of them formed the ULS Alumni Association. In 2002, they began an annual dinner on campus for all graduates, with attendance growing from forty at the first dinner to over six hundred in 2006. They have also sponsored an annual golf tournament to directly benefit the students and their activities, and created an alumni Web page.

With the recent fire that destroyed the Elementary School building, Lanning was instrumental in getting information out to the alumni and coordinating their efforts to help the school recover from the crisis. In addition to their many contributions to the success of the Holomua benefit concert, the alumni the association raised over $100,000 for the performing arts and athletic/ physical education departments.
