I remember playing dodgeball with Kulle, the guy could throw the ball so hard it would blow you over. It was great ! go to the side line and wait for the next game to start and try to get him back (never worked). Still laugh today thinking about it. Great softball player also hitting the ball to the far end of the field or street. Many great memories going to Alki.

Clay/Amy – I will see what I can find this week and come by the LHM this week end with photos!
I still see Skip Kulle, who was my 6th grade teacher so I will try to contact him as well. Also, Dorene Gilbert (my third grade teach still lives in WS as well)

I’d love to have any pictures or memories of Alki. I’m chairing the event and want to include as much history of Alki Elementary as possible. Please send any pictures, etc., to me at wesandamy@comcast.net.

Patricia: Please do dig up any photos, especially from the 1965 quake. We would love to include scans of the photos in a looping PowerPoint presentation. Hope you can stop in during the open hours of our Log House Museum of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society (just a few blocks from the school), noon to 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. And of course, former staff are welcome to attend — and be part of the group photo! –Clay Eals

How exciting – I was at Alki from 1957-1964 and my mother worked there from 1964-1975 (?) – I will try to find the pictures I have from the 1965 earthquake damage!

Nice, it looked dicey for awhile that the school would be open to see its 100th. I went to this school back in the early 90′s and have some fond memories.

That photo can’t be from 1958. Did you mean to write 1928?
