Sad news for Griffin nation. Longtime History and US Government teacher Bob Wilkoff passed away. He had a 39-year teaching career, most at Oak Middle School and Los Al. He retired in 2001. His memorial service will be held April 13, 2022 at 2:30 pm at Harbor Lawn_mount Olive Mortuary and Memorial park, 1625 Gisler Ave., Costa Mesa, ca 92626. Wilkoff, Walt Hauenstein, Pat Ramsberg, Lorraine Gayer, Jim Cross and others were the core of a social studies department that set a standard of excellence that will be hard to match.
Wilkoff wrote in one grad's yearbook: "Build great things and remember Government class. Cynics seldom win. Ask good questions and enjoy." (photo courtesy of Flickr user 49er Badger, Los Al Class of '72)

Capt. Rob McCaughey’s career path has been as diverse as the ocean on which it was built. He’s worked as a diver. He’s sailed on tankers as a Deck Cadet, Captain, and has worn almost every rank in between. He’s worked as a Port Captain, a Marine Superintendent, and as West Coast Operations M...
