Mr. Ed Hamilton passed away on May 29, 2021.
A memorial service will be held this Sunday, August 1, at 2:00 pm in the Loogootee High School Auditorium.
Ed began his teaching career at Loogootee in the fall of 1959. After one year he left to teach at Hymera and Jasonville, but returned to Loogootee in the fall of 1963. He spent the rest of his career at Loogootee retiring at the end of the 1989-1990 school year.
A special announcement will be made at the service about an honor that will be unveiled in the fall of 2022 in recognition of Hamilton’s 31 year career. At the memorial service, an announcement will also be made about how you can order CD copies of two of the albums that Mr. Hamilton recorded with bands in 1969 and 1972.
