On Wednesday, November 18th, 1998, George Washington High school hosted the 11th annual Golden Eagle Award Presentation.  Mrs. Sandy Kern, President of the Alumni Association, presented the award to this year's recipient, Mr. Todd Nicholas Tuckey, who is from the graduating class of 1973.  Mr. Tuckey was on the committee for class reunions of '83, '88, and '93 and has been the treasurer of the George Washington Alumni Association for six years.  He has also hosted all alumni meetings at his place of business, TNT Amusements, Inc. -- the number one seller of entertainment machines such as jukeboxes, ping-pong machines, etc.  Mr. Tuckey has always had an interest in technological devices.  At George Washington he was the school's movie photographer, a projectionist, and a member of the choir.

Mr. Tuckey has also sponsored many fund raising events for churches, associations, and schools.  One noteworthy event was a haunted house that brought in thousands of dollars for youth groups.  Todd Tuckey had no idea that he was to receive the Golden Eagle award because according to Mr. Gutelius, "If he had known, he would have told the alumni association not to give it to him because that's not the kind of person he is."  Mr Gutelius also stated that "Todd Tuckey is a self-made man who literally came out from behind the scene to center stage."  His family was invited to the presentation and kept off stage until Mr. Tuckey received the award. We are very fortunate to have Mr. Tuckey as a positive role model to the class of '99.  Also present were Mrs. Gottlieb, the CHAIN Cluster Leader and Mrs. Sherri Perlman, President of  the Home and School Association.

Todd Tuckey also received a citation from Senator Frank A. Salvatore.  The presentation ended with Mr. Zweig leading the Varsity Singers with the zealous alma mater.  The Golden Eagle Award is presented to the Washington alums/alumna who has contributed to the community and mankind in general, as well as for outstanding achievement in his own field.
