A big "Thank You" to John Leonard for arranging and leading a tour of the school this afternoon. It confirmed my thoughts pre-tour that you can't go home, again. If you get a chance to wander around the school, I suggest you don't bother. Drive by the front and remember it as it was. Behind the front facade of the building, there's not much left of the school as we knew it.

John did a good job showing us the new school and finding bits and pieces that remained from 45 years ago, but it's just not the same with the centerpiece auditorium gone and the hallways we walked no longer in existence.

Just one person's thoughts. There were 25 to 30 of us walking about the school today. Check with the others at the Saturday event. Others may feel differently.

 Maybe there is continuity on some matters about Highline. The current principal is a Mr. Fosberg, who is the son of Dr. Ted Fosberg, a Ph. D. in Chemical Engineering. I worked for and with Ted for fifteen years. The president of our engineering company, Russ Vandenberg, is a Highline graduate from 1949. He distinctly remembers Earl Trowbridge as being THE MATH TEACHER during the 1940's. So they can do to the building what they want. There is continuity among a large range of graduates over the years.
