Wes was a man’s man. Wes was a fantastic principal who made South Salem a strong academic and athletic powerhouse. Wes and Dave Johnson were responsible for hiring me and my wife Kim in 1979. Those years years at South were so much fun!

Wes has been a friend to me, a Man who I greatly respect. Not only was Wes a Strong!! supporter of Salem, OR High School sports, including the high school sports in the State of Oregon. Wes was a Leader with unquestionable integrity. Coaches who choices to bend the rules to gain advantage to win, Wes Ediger held accountable such coaches.
