 Our featured speaker will be
Tim Morgan (Football '69 & '70; Tennis '71)
Tim graduated with the Class of '71.
His West Seattle varsity athletics included two letters in
football as a running back, wide receiver and cornerback, and a
letter in tennis. In high school he was also an expert
skier and a member of the National Ski Patrol.
A variety of injuries precluded him
from college sports, but he remained active year-round with
competitive football, basketball, softball, snow and water
skiing, weightlifting, golf, handball, tennis - pretty much
anything.
There is little doubt that sports
provided a foundation that led to his successes as a family man,
engineer and entrepreneur. With Janice, his wife of
thirty-seven years, he has three successful sons in their
thirties who all handily outshone their father as athletes.
Forty-five years in aerospace resulted in patents, dozens of new
products, traveling the world, leading one company and founding
another. It included advising politicians and helping
shape the future of aerospace in Washington. But there
were plenty of hurdles, failures, lessons to learn, and villains
to vanquish.
Come hear how sports helped shape Tim's
interesting life.

 In
February, we welcome Bruce Amundson
(Tennis '69, '70, & '71).
Bruce earned letters in tennis all
three years, making him one of only two Class of ’71 three-year
letter winners. As a senior, he captained the tennis team,
served as student body president, and won a national writing
award for a feature story in the Chinook on Jimi
Hendrix.
After attending Washington State
University, where he served as sports editor and eventually
editor of the student newspaper, Bruce became a sports writer in
Bellevue, covering the University of Washington’s 1978 Rose Bowl
and professional tennis. In 1980, he transitioned into
corporate communications, working for firms like US WEST and
Weyerhaeuser.
Despite his formal athletic career
ending with his graduation from WSHS, Bruce remained active.
He completed the 1981 Seattle Marathon and now skis and golfs.
His lifelong interest in sports has taken him to a Ryder Cup,
the Wimbledon singles finals, and to the position of co-chair of
the grandstands marshals committee at the 2015 U.S. Open at
Chambers Bay.
