Thursday in Warner Robins, retired teachers gathered at the school they used to work at to reminisce with former coworkers.
It started with a small group of former Warner Robins Middle School educators who met monthly.
Thursday, about 50 teachers who retired from the school got together for what they hope to make an annual luncheon.
Mary Guyer was the lunchroom manager when the school opened. She was glad to reunite with some of her staff.
"I did not recognize some of them, but they seemed to know me," laughs Guyer. "We had a wonderful group of teachers that participated every day, the children were really good, but whereas were cinnamon rolls."
Larry Beck, Warner Robins Middle School's second principal, says the staff has always been close.
"It's more like a family tradition, everybody supported everybody. Everybody looked at this school as the best school in the county, which we always thought it was and still today we think so," boasts Beck. "We have some of the best and brightest teachers in Houston County to go through this school as an educator."
Warner Robins Middle School opened in 1970.
