Thomas H. Reece, who took over as president of the Chicago Teachers Union from the outspoken Jacqueline B. Vaughn in 1994 and ran it with a significantly lower profile until he was voted out in 2001, died on Sunday, Sept. 17, at Rush North Shore Medical Center in Skokie, a hospital spokesman said.

The cause of death was a cerebral hemorrhage, said Mr. Reece’s son, Eric. Mr. Reece, 68, was a longtime North Side resident who more recently lived in Morton Grove.

An important message from Chairperson Kessler:
Dear Classmates:

We are looking forward to seeing you this weekend and hope that you last few stragglers and procrastinators will find the time to return your completed questionnaires and money (in the event you decide to be brave and show up.)

A couple of last minute details:

First, if you are interested in turning in your questionnaire at this time, it must be by 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday. If you are not coming and are interested in receiving a copy, please contact Cheri Julius Lande at clj1053@msn.com.

Second, we are trying to get an idea of how many people will be attending the “field trip” on Friday. As we have had inquiries pertaining to available space in cars from those who do not have local transportation, we would appreciate all of you letting us know if you have space where a classmate can ride. All cooperation is appreciated. Continue reading
