37 years. That is just amazing. It really isn't easy for educators nowadays when they get little backup from the student's homes. Several people we know in N.J. retired from teaching in the inner city because of the conditions. I'll just leave it at that, it was rough. The Jersey people who were teachers are struggling with finding their niche in retirement. We had one of the come for a week and check it out and she fell in love with the entire operation. We took them on the three Trolley rides. This place is like a humongous magnet. They wouldn't believe the tax's here. The entire year taxes here is about one months worth in Jersey and its only getting worse. Glad you're happy here I always enjoy your posts.
