Unknown Brush with Future Fame
The other night Steve mentioned reading that Glenn Beck graduated from Sehome High School (Bellingham, WA). We speculated on how old we thought Mr. Beck was and if it was possible that I had gone to school with him, and I insisted that there was no way he went to my school because I would have remembered his name. The next morning I received an email from my mom that Glenn graduated in 1982 from Sehome. Okay, now I am bugged and have to get to the bottom of this--I trudged downstairs, pulled out the box that contained my yearbooks and pulled out my 1982 Windjammer (I was a Freshman that year), turned to the B's in the Senior Class section and lo and behold: Glenn Beck. Okay, I remember that face! He was in the Concert Choir and the Jazz Choir with Mr. Mattson (my most favorite class and my most favorite teacher at Sehome), and he worked with Dr. Beath in the theater department (another favorite teacher, plus I was good friend with his son, Joel). Who knew? (I actually thought the famous radio personality from our school would have been Allan "Al" Fee...)
