A retired Air Force Brigadier General will be among the first class of inductees in the Siuslaw Athletic Hall of Fame. Curtis “Tooey” Emery II graduated from Siuslaw High School in 1964. While at Siuslaw he excelled on the football field as well as the track. He went on to graduate from the Air Force Academy and served until his retirement in 1997. Emery will be joined by ten other former student athletes, two coaches and the members of Siuslaw’s first ever state champion ship team, the 1960 Boys Track and Field team… five members who outscored all other comers. The Hall of Fame induction will be at the Florence Events Center this Saturday beginning at 3:30. The cost of admission is $10. The ceremony will be followed by the Siuslaw Athletic Booster Club fund-raising auction and dinner at the FEC. Tickets for that are $40 and are still available at Coastal Fitness, The Wind Drift Gallery, Coast Insurance and All About Olives.
