When everyone said, "We should get together more often," Ellen Hazlett Danich '56 decided to organize a cruise for East Washington alumni. It will leave New York on September 17, 2011. Click here to see the brochure. Sure would beat cruising Eat 'N Park.

Betsy and I agreed to do this together and made a list of what we wanted to accomplish and we feel we were able to do all of it. We hope that everyone had a good time and enjoyed the Spring House hospitality. They exceeded our expectations. We wanted an informal, comfortable atmosphere where everyone could talk and catch up on other ghosts. Thanks for taking the time to come. Stay healthy."

I am writing this on behalf of my husband, Richard. He loved teaching at EW. The students were terrific as well as their parents. Thanks for remembering him with your invitation. Karol Smith

I didn't go to EWHS -- left after 8th grade -- but this group of friends was a huge part of my life. Great to get reconnected in this way. Good job on the site. Hi to all. E'

It was really nice being able to have all classes in the same room. Lots of memories were shared. CONGRATULATIONS! to the Class of '65 which won the prize for the most outstanding table decoration with its tablecloth laminated with class pictures and memorabilia, topped with the replica of the EWHS building. Those no longer with us were sadly missed. It was sobering to see our numbers dwindling. GO GHOSTS!!!, or whatever it is we do at our age."
