1984, 1985 Reunion

The combined 20^th and 21^st Anniversary reunions for the Classes of 1984 and 1985 was held this weekend in Tyler. A trio of events were held over the span of twenty-four hours at various locations. Forty-eight former students with their spouse and families reunited, in some instances for the first time in decades, to rekindle friendships and reminisce. Special appearances were made by the current principle of TKG and over half a dozen former teachers. It was a wonderful weekend and all involved in planning and participation are congratulated on a successful reunion event.
