Something never done before happened the last week-end of April, 2012. The Tiger Alumni Center held its first REGIONAL, ALL - CLASSES REUNION. Hosted by John Fritchey (Class of 1961) and his wife Charmaine, the two-day event was held in Spring, Texas. Twenty-one alumni and their spouses or other guests attended.
The Alumni came from almost as many different classes as the number of alumni attending. They represented both the Olney Township High School and the East Richland High School and ranged over 50 years from the class of 1936 and 1940 to 1987.

On Friday evening a Happy Hour and Dinner was held at Raoul's Italian Grill. Great food and ever greater conversation.
Saturday Morning, Barb and Richard Williams led a shopping tour in Old Town Spring.
The coup de grace was Saturday Afternoon. John and Charmaine Fritchey hosted a Texas barbecue lunch and social hour(s) from noon to 5.
We want to call this event our FIRST REGIONAL all-classes reunion as we intend to sponsor more. If you would like to host one in another region of the USA, let us know! We have one offer pending.
Special Thanks go to John and Charmaine Fritchey who made this event possible.
We are also thankful to Richard King who shared over one hundred of his pictures of the event with us.
Happy Days!
Richard
