A free Old-Timers reunion, for people who lived in Allen prior to 1980, will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday, March 17 in the cafeteria at Allen High School. According to organizer Tammy Strong DeVinny, it will be a very informal gathering... just the opportunity for everyone to get together and chat and enjoy each others company.
