HaHa....I hear that I am older and even younger than some of you parents!!!!   Thanks for making my birthday so special!  It was a great day!!!!

Students need to dress in red/white/blue on the day of the program.

Memorial Service for Coach Reid

The Reid family has asked that there be a visitation and a short memorial service for Coach Reid on the Richard Reid Court at Tattnall tomorrow, Wednesday, November 2. The visitation will begin at 6:00 PM and will last until about 7:30. At that time, several of Coach Reid's close friends will be making some remarks and the family has a montage of pictures that they would like to be able to display charting Coach Reid's years of devotion working with young adults. It is my hope that all of you who knew Coach Reid and whose life was touched by him during his 30+ years at Tattnall will make plans to be here on Wednesday afternoon.


The funeral service was originally to be private but the family has decided to move the service to Saint Joseph's Catholic Church which, they hope, will be large enough to handle any crowd that comes. It will be at 2:00 on Thursday, Nov.3.

WE LOVE YOU, COACH REID!
