So happy together...

 Jennie Wallace wrote asking if I remembered the name of a "short Italian woman" who used to teach at Millbridge. 

Are  you surprised that I had photos? Check out these four "Picture Day teachers group" pictures. Some of you were there! :-)

I hope that helps her!

Meanwhile, hello and happy 2023. I was sorry to have to miss the last DEAR friends lunch, but I heard you all carried on happily without me....but no photos to prove it! :-(

No date has been picked for next time....possibly late February when tax season slows down a bit....

What's been going on with all y'all?

If you're stuck at home during the winter months and are looking for something to do or learn about I have information to share! The State of NJ has partnered with a program called "Get Set Up!" that offers FREE! (because NJ is paying!) sessions on a variety of topics...live and "encore videos". It's definitely worth checking out, in my opinion!

Found a photo

 Here's a photo from the past....


Remember Mary Anninos? That is Hazel Solomon there with her, of course. 

I just found out purely by accident that my friend and former BCEA officer, Rose Muriel Rains, passed away January 9, 2021. I hadn't seen her in years and it re-emphasizes to me why it is so important to keep in touch with our former colleagues and friends. 





Muriel taught in Burlington City. She was soft-spoken, sweet, kind, a caring teacher, and a strong Association advocate.

I have very fond memories of working with her. May she rest in peace.

Happy New Year

 With the new year comes sad news - the passing on Christmas Day of our friend and colleague Louise Aldrich. May she rest in peace.

I hope all of you are staying safe and healthy and happily looking forward to good things happening in the coming year.

I hope for some of you the good things include lunching with us at our monthly gatherings.

This month it is Wednesday, January 11th, 12:30 p.m. at Dooney's Pub in Delran. Hope to see you there!

For everyone out of the Delran area these days, we are with you in thought and would love to hear about how you are faring.

Here's a recent sample of DEAR friends getting together in Florida.

Janet Pilvalis and Marge Gessmann

Anyone else have photos to share?
