Sid Hammond
Alumni Association Alumni Community Service Award winner, 2010
The late Sid Hammond (’67) was a longtime educator who helped start the tradition of bag piping at WWU commencements. He began with the ceremonies of his daughters, Margo Hammond (’85) and Lisa Hammond LaGrandeur (’87) and continued for more than 25 years. Hammond died in November 2009, but WWU graduates continue to be accompanied by bagpipes at each ceremony.
