Retirement Reception for Larry Christian

South Athens Elementary PE teacher Larry Christian was honored at a reception Thursday in recognition of his 40 years of service to education at Athens ISD. The bench on which he is shown is a retirement gift made by students at Athens High School. Pictured behind Coach Christian, shown just above his head, is his wife, Betty Christian, who is in her forty-first year of employment at AISD. “It’s all about the kids,” said Coach Christian. “I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.” (Toni Garrard Clay/AISD)
