Five more colleagues joined the fellowship of retired teachers today. Each year, the union sponsors a party to honor these teachers and give them a warm send off. For past retirees, it's an opportunity to see old friends and catch up on their news. Tonight was wonderful because our school nurse, Susan, is retiring and she was accompanied by her beautiful new grandson, sons and daughters-in-law.
We were so very fortunate to have spent our careers, actually most of our lives, in Fredonia schools. Although there were lots of challenges, as I look back, our troubles were minor compared to the obstacles, demands and political assaults that teachers face today. We went through so much together throughout those years and became great friends. We still are and that's a blessing.
