Ryan Ferguson : Class of '96

Mr. Robertson,

I had the privilege of marching for you during the 1992 - 1995 marching seasons.  In 1992, I was a little freshman, having never played drums much before I was placed in the cymbal line.  Throughout the course of my time with you, I was able obtain the best knowledge, play on exceptional equipment, and have access to the best instruction .  By my senior year, I was center snare and a part of one of the best drum lines Columbia River High School has seen to this date.  

I consider a big part of my work ethic to come from being in your program.  We all put in a tremendous amount of hours during marching season to obtain a common goal. Whether we won or loss, we all took away the satisfaction knowing that we left it on the field and gave it our all.

I hope that you can take a moment in a day of solitude and realize what you mean to many students, including myself, and what you have done for our development, as well as what you have done for the community.  We are all better people for having cross your path at one point in time throughout our lives.

Thank you for your service, compassion, and above all YOUR dedication!!

Ryan Ferguson

PS - Thank you for allowing me to be your 6th period TA my senior year.  I believe my only duties were to stack chairs and play drums, since you didn't have a class that period! :)
