Teacher Tribute
Mary Solomon, long time teacher at Knob Noster Middle School is retiring this year. Fellow teacher Carolyn Akins is asking former students to send any memories or messages (a photo of you now and in middle school would be great) to her to compile into a book to give to her at a retirement party. Mary does not know about the gift so mum’s the word. Please contact Carolyn at cakins@knobnoster.k12.mo.us
In Memoriam
Angy Hogan (Wilson, 1995) informs us that her brother Thomas Edward (TJ) Wilson passed away on Friday, May 18, 2007 after a battle with cancer. TJ attended KNHS during his sophomore, junior and senior years of high school. He graduated in the class of '93 in Alamogordo, New Mexico and was able to live out his childhood dream as a firefighter for the city of Alamogordo. He married the love of his life Patty, in 2000. They have two beautiful girls, Domianna and Donisia.
