Ed Doyne:  

Life Currently: Director of Customer Development, Fisher Plaza, Seattle WA - Former: Lt. Col, USMC; MOI, U of WA; Westin Building Manager for 10 years. Interests: Family, Telecommunications and Media TV, Radio and Internet, Commercial & Residential Real Estate. We live in West Seattle where we look out over Elliott Bay and the city we love. We are active supporters of the Navy ROTC unit at the U. of WA. We spend as much time as we can with our Children and Grandsons. Lorraine started a Family Workday where one Saturday every other month our extended family of 15 adults, plus children, get together and work on one of our family's homes. You would be amazed at how much work gets done in one day. I haven't had the urge to go back east, except to visit family. It has been interesting reading up on what has become of my classmates. I only wish we had the time to be more involved. The world never seems to slow down, only gets faster. I am a terrible correspondent, even by email, so please don't be crushed if I don't write back soon. My family has all but given up on me, if that gives you an idea. Semper Fidelis, Ed School I started at Levittown High as an 89'er in 1960 and graduated in 65. I have some great memories of being able to walk, or run to school. High on my list are Pat Kuhn, managing the football team and being its student trainer, Coach and Biology Teacher Chuck Foltz (who taught me a lot about sticking with something), running the 880 behind Ed Zinovitch, Bill McGrath, a great teacher and friend to us all who I see everytime I get back there, Sally Freeman, my 8th grade homeroom and English teacher who taught me what a carasibidge was, and how a great looking teacher inspires young lads to study, Mr. Malony, another great English teacher who introduced me to Joanne Benson, his student teacher in my senior year (great crush fulfilled and crushed), the whole football coaching staff, Mr. Lutterell, Griffenberg, Joe O'Donnell (who threw me so many passes at practice I wanted to get into a game), Dennis Reiter, Mr. Devers. Nancy Cella, one of our cheerleaders and her family. Miss Kelly our Civic teacher in the 1960 Kennedy election. I remember being in the training room getting ready for football practice when the PA system came on with the Kennedy shooting story. I remember getting one single point in the 880 at a meet in Burlington when Coach Foltz took the rest of our 880 team out of the race so I could place 3rd. I remember collapsing after crossing the finish line, totally exhausted the way every race should end in life. That race got me through 20 years of the Marine Corps including being shot at and hit. I remember being mad as can be (I still am) when they changed the name of the school after the town fathers changed the name back to Willingboro. I never got a class ring because of that. As much as I loved Jack Kennedy, it didn't make sense to erase those years of Levittown High. Despite that one bad memory, it was a great High School education and a great time. College After graduating from Kennedy in '65, I lasted an entire semester at Rutgers before being put on probation for failing Calculus and French. So much for becoming a Doctor, which had been my goal since I was the student trainer on the Kennedy Football team. I went to night school at Rider College for a quarter and got a B in History to prove I really could study. Then came a notice to take my draft physical and I beat that by enlisting in the Marines. The Marine Corps helped put me through the U of Md. night school for several years while at Ft. Meade, Md. and then later sent me to the Univ. of Washington where I finally graduated in 1977. I later took some grad school classes at UW while teaching in the ...Expand for more
