Career:

I've been teaching for 42 years and still love what I do. I've taught every grade k-12 except for 5th.

My last 25 years have been in Great Neck, first at South High School and then at South Middle. I now teach 2 math classes and spend the rest of each day as Dean. I haven't yet burned out, probably because I've taught in so many different subject areas. I look forward to going to school each day.

Did You Graduate From North Or South?

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you. Hope you are healthy and keeping busy. Would love to stay in touch!

My Dear Friend Ellen,
Wishing you all the best on your special day., 2/19/22. I know it's only the 13th, but I don't want to forget. Remembering things has become a challenge. I've had some strange illness that gave me brain problems; I'm finally on the road to recovery.I just had an EEG that indicates I will be fine.
Bill has lung cancer so we have been dealing with that. He couldn't have normal surgery because he is 90; we are hoping the radiation will work.It will be a while before we have a definitive answer.
Hopefully we will be able to resume our visits at some future time.
Stay healthy and happy.
Babette

Sending many Happy Birthday Wishes to my friend Tony. Hope you and your family are all healthy and happy!

Bari, I want to wish you an early happy birthday for May 15. I know that if I don't do it now, I would probably forget to do so. I do hope that you enjoy your special day.
If you have a few minutes, please send me an e-mail (angusbabs@aol.com)
with updates about about your closets and your "other pursuits." (You can see I read your note written March 15th to Eileen.)
Fondly,
Babette
