On September 19, Katy Area Retired Educators (K.A.R.E.) held their monthly meeting with Frank Billingsley, Channel 2 Chief Meteorologist as their guest speaker. K.A.R.E members had a great time learning the history of hurricanes and the paths they traveled.  Mr. Billingsley also shared his journey to discover his Family Tree along with his book SWABBED & FOUND.
