I was saddened to hear about Eldine's passing. She was an outstanding teacher and one of the best human beings I've had the honor of knowing and working with. She taught 10-plus years at Scappoose High School and 22 Grant Watts Elementary. With her on staff, there was never a dull moment. At Grant Watts she dubbed herself the "principal of vice" and that she was. But it was the kind of vice that made our jobs more fun to do, gave us a laugh and never anything more than a little inappropriate. I love the photo to the left. It captures her smile and the twinkle in her eyes that all of us who worked with her saw everyday. We also saw her faith, enviable and strong, quietly lived out in all she did. To all her former students and colleagues...remember to "color between the lines". RIP, "El Dingaling". You were unforgettable and much loved!
