Looking forward to seeing you all.

Thomas H. Reece: 1937 – 2006

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.
