We had a FABULOUS turn out for the annual Chicago reunion the weekend before Thanksgiving! Here is an update about the TP boys who joined us for the afternoon to watch the 2017 camp video, flip through the new scrapbook, relive camp memories, and of course, to eat yummy treats.  If we were not able to connect with you at this event, please feel free to share your news with us for a future post.
