Presenting The Dalles-Wahtonka High School principal Nick Nelson with a check for over $4,000 to be used to purchase electronic devices for students in classrooms. This was the class’s Legacy Project chosen by the Class Reunion Planning Committee and spearheaded by Susan Patrick Goldstein, Mike Elston and Gary Bradford. Susan also challenged the other DHS/Wahtonka classes from the 1960’s to meet or beat our results. Over one quarter of classmates participated by donating and recognizing individuals who made significant impacts on their lives.
Collecting another $280 from those present which will be sent to the school in a subsequent check.
