I actually went to South High first and decided to graduate from Washburn, I had a good time at South, tons of people new me but I had no clue who the hell they were…it was crazy! So yeah, I graduated from Washburn in 1983.

I had been in both the International Studies Magnet and the Aviation Magnet. I was able to utilize those skills immediately after graduation. The opportunities which were offered at the time broadened my skill set going forward. I’m proud to tell people that I received a fine education at Washburn High School.

I graduated class of 1990. During my 4 years at Washburn, I was actively involved with stage crew and S.A.D.D. programs. My mom continues to devote much of her time to planning class reunions. She and I both work as civilians for the Minneapolis Police Department in Support Services. I also work part-time as an Augsburg College campus safety officer and self-defense instructor. In my spare time, I volunteer with the Golden Valley Animal Humane Society on the dog adoption floor. I’m looking forward to celebrating my 20 year class reunion this summer!

The overwhelming support and efforts from the 2009 Miller Open helped raise over $5000. With these donations we have begun Phase II for the new Washburn Alumni Room. Special thanks to all sponsors and golfers for their continued support each and every year.

Again this year we have a matching funds campaign in place (click on “Contact Us” above to send questions) that should help raise enough capital to meet the goal of $15,000.

Non-golfers are more than welcome to join us for festivities at Glueks later that evening all class PARTY. Golfers usually arive at dusk depending on what time they finish with golf. Hope to see you all there.
