About to retire in 2021 with 34 rewarding years serving high school students. Oldest daughter, Krista (HSU Alum 2012), secretly arranged with the Dean to have me walk across the stage at her graduation for I was unable to attend my own...A magical memory. While having breakfast in Eureka the following morning, prior to a 15 hour journey back home, our photo was captured on the front page of the Times Standard...Epic! After HSU, we both served in the Peace Corps (Dominican Republic and Honduras) where we married the love of our lives, Ekow Edzie (Her husband + fellow P.C. Volunteer) and Leyla Turcios (My lovely wife + teacher). Thank you HSU, redwoods, sunsets and APD for the great memories.

Class Notes Garrett J. Costello 11/17/2019  
During the last two years my wife and I (fellow alumni) got married and started an Environmental Consulting business. As our business has grown we have turned our attention to constructing low-tech beaver dam analogs to help restore critical stream and meadow ecosystems. This year Symbiotic Restoration installed over 100 beaver dams across north-eastern California. As our business expands we hope to be able to employ and incorporate Humboldt students in to these programs in the future. Our current plans include looking for land so that we can move back to Humboldt County and build our home back where our journey began.
Class Notes Claudia M. Cottrell 12/21/2019

After 23 years of running a human chiropractic practice, I went to Options for Animals School of Animal Chiropractic. I now practice exclusively on horses, dogs, cats, and whatever else is presented to me (with a spine, of course). So I feel like I have come full circle, in a way.

Class Notes Nicholas N. Entsminger 10/7/2019  
Hello. I am a currently featured alumnus on your site. I wanted to add to my story, if possible. I was accepted into the Doctorate of Medical Science program at the AT Still Universities, Arizona School of Health Sciences and have recently submitted both a journal article and medical textbook on pre-hospital 12-lead electrocardiogram interpretation for potential publishing. Additionally, through familial research, I was able to induct my family into both the Sons of the American Revolution as well as the Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War. I continue my love of history and view my time pursuing a history degree at Humboldt State as the years that inspired my pursuits.
