Page 7 Bruce and Jo Caldwell and their adventures with life and music Bruce and Jo Caldwell have been working since they retired - Bruce from Edmonds-Woodway in 1995, and Jo from Meadowdale in 1997. It’s not been all work, however. In those years they have also managed to enjoy many good times. Bruce and Jo met in the UW Husky Marching Band and honeymooned with the band on the Huskies’ 1964 Rose Bowl trip. Bruce began his career teaching music at Madrona Junior High then moved to Woodway High when it opened in 1967. Jo taught in Northshore then stayed home while their children were young. When she was ready to return to work, teaching jobs were scarce; only non-continuing contracts were offered. She taught sixth grade at Martha Lake, (which closed at the end of the year), then at Forest Crest (which closed at the end of that year), then second grade at Sherwood. Because of double-levy failures, there were no jobs in Edmonds, so Jo commuted to Auburn for two years and Snohomish for six years. Finally in 1984, she returned to Edmonds, teaching (mostly) English and advising the yearbook at Meadowdale High School. In 1995 the Washington Music Educators Association (WMEA) decided to pilot a paid position for someone to manage the association. Bruce, a former WMEA president, was hired. At the same time, the association was searching for a new editor for its publications, and Jo, with her yearbook-adviser experience, was hired. The room above the garage in the Caldwells’ home became the WMEA office. The two-year pilot project is now in its 19th year and employs a staff of five in addition to the Caldwells. In June 2009, the office moved into space in the EEA building. As WMEA’s executive director, Bruce supervises day-to-day operations of the association and manages an annual conference for music educators – a state conference in even-numbered years and a conference for the six states in the Northwest Division of the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) in oddnumbered years. Jo does all the publications for the organization and its events. For 11 years she also served as editor of The Journal for the Washington State School Retirees’ Association. The retirement jobs have been wonderful in two ways: allowing the Caldwells to keep in touch with many of their former colleagues and providing them the opportunity to travel. Each year they attend a summer workshop at NAfME headquarters near “the other Washington.” Especially fun was a year ago when one of their granddaughters joined them after the meetings for a week of sightseeing in the nation’s capital. Loyal Husky fans, the Caldwells tailgate in their motorhome at each home game, travel to some away games and attend Dawg Days in the Desert in the Palm Springs area in March. Other motorhome travels include a couple of trips each year to California and Arizona, where they visit their son, Steve, in Flagstaff, and at least two trips to Ashland for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Since 1997, the Caldwells have traveled to Europe nine times and have been on several cruises. They have especially enjoyed trips with other friends who are retired teachers. To celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in December, the Caldwells are looking forward to a trip to Europe with their children and grandchildren. Each fall the Alumni Association awards the Wesley-Birkett Smith Ski School Memorial Scholarship in memory of Wesley, a Meadowdale Middle School student. Because of Wesley’s love of snow sports, his parents created this award. Seventh and eighth grade students in the Edmonds School District who are participating in the Edmonds Shoreline Snowsports division of Olympic Ski School may apply for this scholarship. It includes transportation, snowboard or ski lessons, and lift ticket expenses. Applications for the scholarship will be in middle schools and are due on November 22nd. The applications will be available in middle school counselor’s offices, in the main office in K-8 schools, or on the ESDAA website website: www.eddalumni.org If you have any questions, call Dorothy Stansberry at (425) 481-1080.
