Scott Burgess  Rule, TX scott.burgess@erau.edu

Professor, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

After 27 year military career that started at WLHS, the second career is in full swing, teaching at university, working a PhD, ranching, consulting, and traveling.

I was an odd sort in high school; I didn't bond to the philosophy of cliques or groups and tried to bond with all people and have fun. Learning was a part of it and it did launch me to where I am today, but I wish I'd put more into it then. That was hard to do in the 70's.

The teachers truly molded me and helped shape what I'd become and I'll always appreciate them.  Some of them influential to me were Welty, Panichello, Miles, McKie, Don Smith, and Rollins.

Jill (Buse) Cowper  Milwaukie, OR

Manufacturing Supervisor

I've been happily married for almost 20 years, with 4 children and a grandchild on the way.

Favorite memory:  1.) Directing traffic (as a joke) during the lunch hour rush.  2.) Trying to set off the sprinkling system by the girls locker room.  The keyword here is "trying," the only thing that caught on fire was the dust around the sprinkler head.

I wish everyone well and would like to get in contact with my "old" team mates.

Housewife

I went to West Linn for my junior year in 77-78 and I loved it.  I am thinking about moving back to Portland.  I have 5 beautiful daughters, ages 4-15 and I live in Austin, TX.  I would love to hear from anyone who could give me info on what West Linn is like today.  Does anyone keep in touch with Cheryl Cook?  Thanks, Kitty Burnett (Curra).

Favorite memory:  West Linn was the only school I went to that had a morning break.  It was a lot of fun hanging out in the big main hall and talking to everyone, like a lunch before lunch.  The school grounds were so beautiful, and the weather during the springtime was so nice.  I also remember a lot of good parties in West Linn and Oregon City.

Linda Williams Wilkinson   Shelton, WA                                        redpenner@gmail.com

Vocational Program Coordinator

I attended WLHS for only about 6 weeks at the end of my senior year, after moving from California.  I didn't really get to know anyone, and being short only a few credits to graduate I spent part of each day at the preschool across the street, doing work study.  I didn't attend the graduation ceremony, and when I went to pick up my diploma the next week, it was discovered that they had forgotten to make me one - I wasn't on the list.  They made me one with hand lettering, and off I went to Clackamas Community College for a year.
