Happy holidays and see you next year!

 Our December 8th Dooney's Pub gathering was fun. 

Hope you can join us next year (!) on January 11th at Dooney's Pub.

We had a lot to talk about  (what's new with you?) and the food was delicious as always.

Marcia shared photos from her recent trip to Australia/New Zealand with Joanne Karwacki and Wilma Kaelin.

Bruce's Moorestown Community Band concert is tonight (Dec. 9, 2022) at the Moorestown Middle School on Stanwick Rd. at 7:30.

Hope your holidays find you happy and healthy!

Hoping to see you soon

 Thanksgiving is now in the past. Hope you had a good one.

It's hard to believe December is in two days!

I am looking forward to seeing many of you at our Dooney's lunch set for 12:30 on Thursday, December 8th.

I have learned that our friend Ann Croge has passed away. May she rest in peace.

Here is her obituary.

Where are we now?

 It's almost the end of summer 2022. Time goes so fast now, right?

The new school year '22-'23 will be starting in a few weeks. I, for one, am really glad that I do not have to start gearing up for it. This will be my 16th time to not have to cry the whole last week of August!

I am sorry that it has been so long since our last DEAR lunch gathering. I see occasional mention on Facebook of some of our group members and it starts me wondering about how everyone is and what you all have been up to.

I am thinking I might reach out and see if I can gather some news on our folks and post what I find out to share and try and catch us all up.

Meanwhile, take care and stay safe!

It's beginning to look a lot like.....

 ....and another year is drawing to a close....when will be able to safely meet again? Miss you all!

In that vein, here I have a small collection of Millbridge staff photos from years past.

Here's a sample: 

Anybody else have old time photos to share? :-)

Hope your Thanksgiving and Chanukah went well and wishing you a merry Christmas and very happy New Year. 2022....hoping for a better future!

November already!

 I  am attending the NJREA virtual convention today.

We are on break at the moment. The meeting part was this morning and we go back at 1 for a pension/benefits update and five comedians! :-)

In other news, I am happy to report that Bruce's next Moorestown Community Orchestra concert will be at 7:30 at the William Allen School in Moorestown on December 3rd. See you there?

And....I just came across this great photo of retired 3rd grade Delran teacher Cory Goss with her husband and three grandchildren (on Facebook).

Looking good, Cory! 

I really do hope that we can get together in person for a DEAR lunch again one of these days!

Memories of Friends and Days Gone By

 I came across a file on my computer called DEApix and going through them blew me away. What a treasure trove of memories! I put them in a google share album. There are a lot of them. I'll bet you see people you recognize!

Here's a link to the album- https://photos.app.goo.gl/rnNzRqNL11eg1ceFA

Includes photos like....

 The new school year has started and masked in-person is the order of the day. Fingers crossed that all will be well (although the uptick in covid cases is happening). I look forward to a time we can get together for lunch again.

Meanwhile, I have been happy to see some of our friends in person.
