Cruise to honor teacher
The staff and students at Benzie Central High School lost a wonderful teacher when Katherine Wolterink was killed in an automobile accident this past fall. The Grand Traverse area offered their thoughts and strength to the students and staff.
Last spring Mrs. Wolterink took her Honors Freshman English class on a cruise with the Inland Seas, Tall Ships. This year Tom Kelly of Inland Seas and his crew have extended an invitation to Mindy Clawson (Katherine's replacement) and the World Literature, Senior English students and Mrs. Wolterink's family, for a similar adventure and memorial cruise in her honor on May 6.
I think that Tom Kelly and his crew should be acknowledged for their generous and kind offer. Mrs. Wolterink would be pleased that she and her students would be invited to return to the ship.
