The Sight of Stadium

A Father's memory

My dad, Carl Peterson, graduated from Stadium in 1949.

While he grew up in Tacoma we ended up in Kirkland where I grew up.

I remember my dad taking our family on a drive one day (probably in the 60’s or early 70’s) and he took us by Stadium so we could see where he went to high school.

When I first saw the school it took my breath away. Never before had I seen anything like it. The field on the bay, the majestic turrets, it was a fairy tale castle to me. Truly amazing! I’m so glad it is being restored and I wish you well on your celebration.
