 * Dene Lawson**

Dene left MVHS in the summer of 1960 to pursue scholastic dreams at WSU and Stanford University, spending half of the 1960’s at Stanford. He has two advanced degrees from Stanford: M.A. and Ed.D. Married for 21 years to Patricia Galbraith, salutatorian of MVHS class of 1949 and mother of four. In 1972, Dene married Helen Holm, who had one grown son. Together, Helen played piano and Dene, the marimb a, in public duets until her death October 18, 2008. A CD of their music has been distributed to dozens of friends, in memory of her passing. The quality of the CD belies the fact that neither musician learned to read music.
