The school is known as “The JETS”. A Beautiful “Blue Angel Jet” is on display at the school. Mr. Watson (a former student & lifelong resident of Crossville) was a Blue Angels Jet pilot. Look closely his name is under the window. It was being “Rededicated” Thursday at 4:30. A fresh paint restoration has recently been done on the plane There is also another Jet by the football field, also flown by a female former student of the high school, the 7th ever female jet pilot! Crossville is a great small town!

Murf and Risa obtained a gift certificate donated by Custard Cabin for the club member who had the most $ in their can- won by Don and Dee. The Alzheimer’s group donated prizes for the 2nd and 3rd place as well, 2nd place Avery and Jennifer, and 3rd place was Les and Kelly. Lunch was at Stonehenge Grill and desert at the Custard Cabin.
