I read with interest your June 11 story about the Marysville-Pilchuck High School 2008 Commencement ceremony. There were a couple of errors in the story: Elizabeth Hasseler’s name was misspelled and there is indeed a 2008 Salutatorian. She was not given the opportunity to address the guests, but Julie Zehnder is the M-PHS Class of 2008 Salutatorian. It’s no wonder that you misspelled Ms. Hasseler’s last name. The Commencement program had the same error in two of the three places her name was listed. Ms. Zehnder’s name was listed as the Salutatorian, but it was spelled incorrectly as “Sender.”
