Honoring fallen heroes
Los Gatos High School honored two of its graduates--Todd Beamer (class of 1987) and Mark Bingham (class of 1988)--by planting two trees on campus. On May 1, the school held a tree-planting ceremony attended by Bingham's family, school officials and Los Gatos Vice Mayor Sandy Decker. Here, Principal Trudy McCulloch presents Alice Hoglan, Bingham's mother, with a copy of the plaque that will sit at the foot of Bingham's tree. Hoglan spoke briefly about her son's career at Los Gatos High School, which included editing the yearbook and playing rugby. 'I give credit to rugby for shaping the aggressive and outrageous character that was my son,' Hoglan said, adding that her intent was to bring rugby back to the school. The trees will be planted at the west side of the school's front lawn.
