TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - More than 300 people attended a reunion of former employees of the Menninger Clinic in Topeka.

The clinic, a driving force for mental health care, opened in Topeka in 1925. The clinic aligned with Baylor College of Medicine and moved to Houston in 2012.

Alison Beebe, a registered nurse, worked for Menninger for 20 years and was on the committee that put together the reunion. She told The Topeka Capital-Journal (https://j.mp/2e50BRc) that a 2015 informal reunion drew more than 200. So the group decided a more formal, organized reunion was in order.



She says more than 315 people signed up to attend a dinner Saturday night.

More, including relatives of founder C.F. Menninger, attended a variety of events Friday through Sunday.
