The KUAY FEBRUARY 2012 7 CELEBRATING 30 YEARS: THE QAHS ALUMNI ASSOC. By Kim R. Turner ’61 The Fall 2011 Luncheon celebrated 30 years of our alumni association. The association got its start with the announcement of the coming closure of the school in spring of 1981. It seemed like a good time to recall all the great events and deeds done by multiple generations of high school students. A big gathering/program was set for June 6th. A retrospective of the 70+ years of school plays and musicals called “Bringing Down the Curtain,” was held on that late afternoon/evening. More than 15,000 alums from Queen Anne returned for that TREASURE FOUND BY day and night’s festivities and sorrows of the “Last Hurrah”.

8 The KUAY FEBRUARY 2012 A Patches Pal Shows His Love We get letters from alums who want to share their experiences with other grads. Below is a charming bit of local history tied to Seattle’s beloved J.P. Patches, everyone’s childhood (or later) favorite clown. My name is Carl Lovgren, class of ’74. Grow- ing up a Patches Pal was a great experience. His show was right up the street. It wasn't until about 12 years ago that I became very close friends with J.P. (aka Chris Wedes).
