 With great sadness we bid farewell to Kate Tanguis. Kate passed away on December 5th at the age of 50 after a long battle with colon cancer. Those of us who danced during the 90's and early 2000s, and especially former AIFD board members who had frequent interactions with the Hancock Rec staff, remember Kate fondly in her role as the HRC director for many years. Her career with Austin Parks and Recreation spanned 25 years, with an extraordinary attention to special needs children. Here is the tribute to Kate.
