I have worked with learning disabled high school students, multiply handicapped children aged 5 to 21, and am presently working in a Queens Elementary School with children diagnosed with Emotional Disturbances.

Initially I was a 3rd grade teacher in Silver Spring, Maryland while Mickey was going to Georgetown Law School in the evening and working for the Patent Office during the day.

When we moved back to NY and to our first home in Dix Hills, I was a partner with Polly Hammer in a business that supplied plants to hospital gift shops. I then became an interior plantscaper and decorated businesses and homes with greenery.

Lifelong Hobbies:

I enjoy working with children. Even though I no longer work with plants as a business, I enjoy having plants inside and outside our new home in a retirement community (The Greens in Melville)--even though we are not retired.
There is a golf course here and we enjoy playing golf.

I'm so sorry to learn of Vinnie's passing. I remember him mostly as a handsome great athlete and also Theresa Granata's boyfriend. She was my next door neighbor and friend. Everything said about growing up in NHP and going to school at Great Neck and then Great Neck South High School was true and provided wonderful childhood experience for us all. I would love for us all to get together. Count me in!

I’m very sad to hear of Bill’s passing. He was in my homeroom class all through school and I always admired his intellect and behavior.I was happy to learn he was a successful doctor and belonged to a country club. My condolences to his wife and family.

I felt very sad learning of Donald's passing. Even though I went to GNSOUTH in 11th grade,
I remember him from so long ago because he was outstandingly smart and interesting.
