The Board of Trustees ceased to function in 1986. The last election of Trustees was April 1976. At that time Carolyn Rodgers McKee and Fred Hughes were reelected. McKee had been appointed in January 1976 to fill the unexpired term of Thomas E. Taylor.
We would like to honor those who represented on past Board of Trustees.
