Memories on a rainy day

So it is Fall 2023, a rainy Saturday... I am working on an eblast for BCREA, promoting the upcoming Fall General Membership meeting and looking through photos of days gone by (so many photos...so little time!)

Here are some Delran folks at the BCREA Spring luncheon in 2013.... (Some of us are still around, some live only in memory....)

 

Here are more....from the 2010 BCREA Spring General Meeting

See you in October!

 Unfortunately the September 13 DEAR lunch has been cancelled due to limited response. It looks like the summer diversions were still in effect for the majority of  our Delran Retirees and Friends (DEAR Friends) group members. Hopefully October will prove more workable.

In other news, I bumped into former DIS computer teacher Shari Kauffman...dancing at Prospectors! Do you remember her?

Please feel free to comment below and keep in touch!

And another school year begins.....

 Hope you had an enjoyable summer!

I look forward to hearing all about your trips and adventures and changes that took place over the summer at our September 13th lunch meeting at Dooney's Pub (12:30).

If you can't make it, please fill us in on what's been going on with you by posting here and/or replying to my recent email. (Thanks in advance!) 

Shout out to Suzanne Iannone: Happy birthday (Sept.9)!

See you in September!

 I hope you are having a restful summer! It seems like everyone is keeping busy between moving and vacationing. At our last lunch we decided to skip meeting in August and set our next date for September 7th. Hope to see you there!  

Small but happy group on July 20, 2023

Do you have any summer photos to share? You are welcome to send them to me and I will post for you.

Here is one I have of Marcia Konieczka and Hazel Solomon posing in front of Marcia's gorgeous and so impressive garden.

Summertime and the living is easy.........

 When I was still teaching, July 4th was the signal for the downhill race of summer vacation. Now that I'm retired every day is the same, so I can enjoy the celebration fully.

I hope everyone has been doing well and staying healthy (and, as of recently, staying cool on these hot days).

I have a picture from our last DEAR lunch and an invitation to all to our next one on July 20th.

The date for the next DEAR Friends lunch is Thursday, July 20th at 12:30 at Dooney's in Delran.

Hope you can make it!

I also had the opportunity to attend the DEA Retirement lunch that same week. So many people I didn't know. I mostly concentrated my photos on our DEAR Friends group members and special people like Becky Smith and Kathryn Schneider.

Here's my photo collection from that day.

Just a few news bits. Congratulations to Bruce and Rosemary for finding their new home. Condolences to Ron Caracci for the passing of his ex-wife.

Please feel free to add any photos or news bits that you have to share by commenting on this post or writing to me.

Sad News to Share

   This is a photo of  our retired colleague Mary Anninos with her husband, Peter. I think it is from 1995, possibly at her retirement. (?)

    Sadly, Hazel wrote to me today and asked me to let you know that Peter passed away on May 13th.

    Our condolences to Mary and her family. May he rest in peace.

Peter and Mary Anninos

    I found this obituary and funeral information
