Danny, one of the "W's" in W.W. Bushman stood for William (not sure which?). Some called him "Bill".

At age 22 (1927) he was coaching football at Sunset High (which opened in 1925). That year they won both District and City championships. In 1930 our own Ben A. Matthews joined him as Ass't. Coach. Bushman's football coaching came to be regarded as "legendary".

Around 1942 Bushman returned to Sunset as Principal. Finished out the year, then resigned to enter WWII as a Major. In 1944 he died in a plane crash in the China campaign. Quite a man.

Does anyone know what W. W. stands for in W. W. Bushman Elementary School? 
My Dad was a good friend of Mr. Bushman, & talked about him while at Sunset H. S.
I called the School twice. The Lady Principle knew nothing & transferred me to the school Libarrian. who knew nothing about Him. I told her That I have found little information on him. I know Mr. Bushman Loved people & hated Wednesdays with a Pasion!...... Mike, Mike, Mike,Mike What day is it??  
D.I.S.D Knew nothing either.
  I'll bet John Southworth could find out all about W.W. Bushman, a W.W. II hero Lost in Time.
