The local unit of the National Retired Teachers Association was named the Kingsville Tri-City Retired Teachers Association. It was organized on February 12, 1971. Ruby Gustavson was elected President; Mrs. T. O. McKinney was Vice-President; Recording Secretary, Mrs. L.A. Fritts; and Treasurer, Mrs. Edith Bond. Committees were created for the budget, community involvement, fellowship and social activities, informative and protective services, insurance and a yearbook committee. At first their meetings were at irregular times, at the First Methodist Church in Kingsville. The meetings were eventually held once a month. South Texas Archives presently holds records up through 1997 for the organization. The association continues and is active honoring new retirees’, awarding scholarships, assisting Texas A&M University-Kingsville with the Children’s Symphony, and other community activities.
The records include minutes, administrative documents, association publications, legislative updates, newspaper clippings, and photographs. Yearbooks for most of the years are in the files.
