50th Reunion Commentary: Since leaving the hallowed halls of Highline in 1956, I have been married more than once, had five children and six wonderful grandchildren. I was a Highline School District employee for 32 years, which would probably have amazed Mr. Wiggins. During three of those years I was a library clerk at both Highline and Puget Sound . Who woulda thunk it? I retired as an administrative secretary in 2001 to enjoy life and travel with my domestic partner, had a double lung transplant in 2005, and every day is a happy surprise.
