Bernie’s Notes

Today I’d like to congratulate my wife, Joy, on her retirement. She’s been an educator for the past 43 years including stints as a classroom and pre-school teacher, a children’s minister, a principal and, most recently, a special ed teacher at Livingston Avenue School in Cranford, New Jersey. I look forward to the adventures in this new chapter of our lives!
