I'll be married 30 years on August 1st. My oldest daughter, Elizabeth is 25 and looking to teach English in Middle School. Christine just graduated from Scranton University and started their PT program. I've been teaching first grade for 10 years at Traphagen in Waldwick. First Grade is a wonderful place to be. I like to read, walk, and go out with friends.
