Clifford Lynn Breeden was better known to his 1963 Hillsdale High School classmates as "Lynn". He was one of the most popular guys in school and during his senior year placed second on the trampoline in the state gymnastics meet.
Lynn Breeden was a terrific high school athlete and a special young man. During class reunions his name is almost always brought up and he is, and will continue to be, remembered by those with whom he grew up in Hillsdale, Michigan.
I first met Lynn on his first day of school in the eighth grade. His family had recently moved from Indiana to Hillsdale and he still hadn't found his way around school. I remember thinking, "He's a nice guy." and that was more than 40 years ago.
Lynn's brother, Jimmy, became a standout high school athlete and his sister, Barb, continues to live in Hillsdale, although his mother, Marge, passed away a few years ago. The last time I saw her in the middle 1990s, just the mention of Lynn's name brought tears to her eyes.
In November of 2005, Lynn will be inducted into the Hillsdale County Veteran's Hall of Fame. He will join those who served this nation from the Revolutionary War through the Gulf War.
