Awesome group!
It's that time of year again, time to share this school year's "formal" Duke Candidate pics. The 5 and me, spent a couple hours together out at WHS Sunday afternoon and we came up with about 40 pics or so, some will make ya laugh. It's a fine group of young men. We cruised around the insides of WHS for some of the pics, the rest were staged in the KWHS Studio, using the 9 x 15 green screen as a backdrop. Of course, the backgrounds are no longer green.
Congratulations again to this year's candidates:

Enjoy these memories from 2005-2006 - Parade, Pep Rally and Haircuts on Thursday before Friday's game vs Kingman (and Duchess Coronation.)
Also, later in the same school year, Duke Coronation pics & Homecoming Basketball Game Pics. (Girls were in tournament action that week @ Mulvane)
Check back for MORE VIDEOS from the past, daily!
The following are miscellaneous pics from the whole school year (2004-2005) - over 1500!! I put this gallery together years ago - took a long time. Original plan was to make galleries like this for each school year - still the plan, after I retire in 2050. :) This is the only one for now though. If anyone orders a few prints**, that would inspire me to do additional galleries I would imagine! :)

Since fall of 1999, the Crusader website has been THE go-to place for Wellington content. Its look and web address may have changed periodically, but it has had one sole proprietor: Steve Sturgis. It is Steve’s creation, his vision. Much has already been said about Steve’s inventiveness and the impact the website has had on our community, so I’ll suffice to add this: There was nothing like it when Steve first created the website; he blazed a trail for all others to follow, and the project is a wonder and a testament to his brilliance, creativity, talent, and industriousness.
