After reading many letters in the Times-Villager in favor of keeping the beautiful Galloping Ghost, sculpted by a hometown artist, I find little more to add to the argument for keeping it. This mascot has been a fond tradition that alumni have held for almost one hundred years and it should be kept in place.
It is very difficult for me to understand the reasoning of the removal of our statue.
Our ghost has traveled across many fields and participated in many parades instilling pride and patriotism …it has always been so unique and we all were/are so proud!
In the soon-to-be discussion between the Kaukauna High School Board and the Civic Engagement class of KHS over the Galloping Ghost Statue, the facts of the past matter less than how some members of our community feel about ourselves and our community.
We are writing in support of the recent letter to the Times-Villager from Ellyn Verbeten Sachs, in which she urges denial of a request that the galloping ghost statue adjacent to the main entrance of Kaukauna High School be removed.
