Bruce Smith has a band!

It was great to see everyone at Prospector's yesterday.

Last ones at the fabulous salad bar

The next scheduled lunch -same time, same place- is Wednesday, November 18th. Hope you can make it.

Meanwhile, Bruce's band has some scheduled dates coming up, as previously indicated on this blog:

That will get you the dates and the official band webpage.
Meanwhile, the first one is Sunday, November 8th at the Burlington County Library main branch in Mt. Holly in their lovely new auditorium at 2 p.m.

See you Wednesday?

We're getting to the final countdown for this month's lunch at Prospectors (12:30 Wed. Oct.28th). As usual we have a lot of friends who can't make it for any number of reasons, which is to be expected with our busy lives.

I love hearing from everybody even when they respond with regrets, because it keeps us in touch even so.

Most recently I have heard from Mary Catherine Faunce who says to give everyone her best regards but regrets her plate is too full at this time to join us, though she'd rather be sitting with us and a full plate! :-)

Joe McCole says can't join us this month but says he had lunch with "Marion fink Donna van Joan Lewis and Bonnie Peterson" last week and told them about us. I told him to please give them my email in case they want to be on our notification list.

Meanwhile, back at the DEA, I attended the BCEA Presidents dinner last night and had a good time visiting with some of our still active colleagues. 

John K. and Maxine Carter were there, too, and you will be seeing them on Wednesday.  Ron Caracci is joining us, too.

Small Florida survey: Who here has been or will be in Florida for any part of the 2015-2016 school year? Just curious. 

Looking forward to Wednesday

This is embarrassing, but I sort of forgot about this blog!
I was writing to Suzanne who is currently in FL and that made me think of it.
She will be back in the area Nov.7th and will stay in NJ until she and her husband go back in January to live in their new house down there for the winter.

I have also heard from our Delran friend, Joan Boland, now a year round Wildwood resident. She said to say hi to everyone. It sounds like she has a fun filled life there...with the summer and fall being more lively than winter...so, they are planning some cruising and FL visits to keep up the excitement.

I hope everyone is enjoying good health.

I was happy to see many of you at the BCREA Fall Meeting/Luncheon

 and look forward to seeing you all at Prospectors at 12;30 on the 28th (Wednesday).

Talk about memories....!

Good morning!

Remember the Faculty Feud?

Sometime when you have some time, you might enjoy looking through these 375! photos that used to be on a webpage called DEApix.

I have had so many photo online website hosts bite the dust over the years. Some of them took my photos with them, but this collection was salvageable and I am finally getting them available online again.


Enjoy!

Appreciating the grandparents

I don't want to be too Facebook-y with this forum, but this article I found there touched my heart and I wanted to share it with all the grandparents in the group...
