I went to NWSS in the late 90’s, and Justin’s dad, George Morneau, was a school aide and coach of the Junior Girls’ basketball and Junior Boys’ track teams. He fundraised, coached, and talked baseball nonstop while he roamed the halls as one of the handfull of paid hall monitors during lunchtime.
I remember him as a great guy who always noticed the “unpretty” kids and made everyone feel like a part of the school… and he was crazy about his kids. Way to go for a great New West family!
