Rod and I are still together, bless his heart and soul (wink). We have 3 beautiful children: Rodney, Firefighter (married to Rebecca); David, Detective (married to Avery); and Dana Marie a Financial Analysis (married to Damian). They have all made us proud and at some point or other gave us each a grey hair or two on our heads. Did I say our? I meant Rod's head. I still have beautiful chestnut hair with auburn highlights- depending on the day or the hair color formula I used.
Our children have given us 6 wonderful, active, life affirming grandchildren: Kevin, Madison (she is like me in many ways), Lauren, Andrew, Daniel, and our newest grandson, Julian, who is just 2 months old.
I work for the Ossining School District, so in some ways, I never left school. Rod retired from Verizon and works part time for the District as well. The school district has contributed to our lives in so many ways. Jill (Irving) Sherwood and I are still writing notes to each other! That is why the idea of a reunion is like "comfort food" to me (without the calories). Speaking of which, the Reunion Committee did a wonderful job reaching out to everyone and putting in so much time and effort. The blog is very creative and informative. Thank You. Hope to see everyone soon and continue to stay in touch (

Finally, I am sad to see so many of our classmates have passed away. We are not that old to have lost so many. God bless them.
