Generations of Jesse White Tumblers gather for reunion
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Current and former members of the world-famous Jesse White Tumbling Team got together Saturday to catch up and make new friends at a reunion.
The event was hosted by team founder and former Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White, at the Jesse White Community Center, 410 W. Chicago Ave.
The program also included awards – and of course, a performance by the tumblers.
Some former members of the team had emotional words for their leader.
