    Very proud of you son on this honor and proud of my niece Kylee on hers. And thank you to the supporters of Barrineau Park Historical Society for making this possible. For those who have not visited, I encourage you to do so. The museum is very rich in history including a lot of interesting information and memorabilia on J.M. Tate High School.
