interest in the video I caught of him.

VIDEO
           TMI was built on the foundation laid for it in its predecessor, Sweetwater Military College founded in 1874 . The
purpose in founding the school was to provide a place where young men could have good educational advantages
under safe and wholesome influences. TMI was coed from 1973-1975. In the fall of 1975 it became TMI Academy and
closed in 1988. In 1989 the property was purchased by a Japanese group which opened the first Japanese high school
in the United States, now named
Tennessee Meiji Gakuin.

Pics
This is the pic of the pool. This pic was
cropped. You notice reflections in the
water. But there is something in the
water to the left and middle of the pic.
There was a young boy that died in the
pool. And it was confirmed that this
was the same spot where they found
him in the pool.
