Thanks for the Memories!! Let's do it again!

This whole elementary blog idea started in 2000 when a few RHS classmates' emails spread like wildfire. This blog consists mostly of conversations regarding our 40th reunion and, of course, memories from our elementary days. As we approach our 45th reunion, please share your comments, memories and wishes on our RHS Class of '70 Facebook page. Let's start with...
Are you interested in reuniting with your elementary classmates again in 2015?

Hello, Irene Nagy Talerico

Never coming to a consensus with my parents about where I should go to college, they decided the only way to be rid of me was to retire and move to Florida, which left me homeless on the streets of Ridgewood. But I had bigger things in mind, so off to the city I went, hoping to find a nice warm cardboard box to set up house in. It was an especially cold winter, though, and so I migrated south to Ft. Lauderdale in 1971, figuring a blanket on the beach near my parents would be better than the box. Determined to get rid of me once again, they sent me off to FSU for a couple of years, where I majored first in art and ultimately, partying. Then landed a job with IBM, moved to Atlanta, got married, had two sons, divorced, remarried (now for 20 years). Now, I have my own business as a decorative artist. We are empty-nesters! Love the South, ya'll...love my life! Irene ;D

    Who remembers Mr. Filacy's art classes? I remember when we did block printing by carving linoleum tiles, rolling ink on them and printing on paper. There was blood and bandages everywhere because the carving instruments would slip and cut our hands. Everyone was injured!!! We were like art warriors!!!

    (from email dated 1/27/10): Does anyone remember the name of the other kindergarten teacher? Was it Mrs. Goetches? Didn't she live on Fairmount Rd.? Peggy and I remember there was a teacher on Fairmount who always gave out pencils for Halloween...what a disappointment!

    I think Miss Goetches (sp?) was the teacher assistant for Mrs. Curley in kindergarten. I remember Mrs. Goecker (GW math!!), Fairmount Rd (was that behind California St? - I AM getting old!) gave pencils for Halloween!!!

    Peggy Figlar adds: PERFECT!! That's the name I couldn't recall. I had her for math. Mrs. Goecker, very good Judy, and she DID give out stinky pencils.

    Stan Brown: Irene, if you didn't want us to follow you around, you should have worn a longer skirt. Thanks for the memories, Stan

    Those were the days the girls measured their hem by the ends of the fingertips when arms were at our sides. Irene had endless legs, so the skirts may have seemed shorter. Funny, I didn't follow her around:)
