A Wonderful Experience

To The Editor:

After almost eighteen wonderful years as Public Relations Consultant to the Garden City schools, I am no longer with the district. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the great people who made my experiences so rewarding and also so much fun. To the Garden City News , and especially Meg and Ed Norris, thank you. You do an outstanding job and never once complained when I said over and over, "It just has to get in!"

Without the principals, assistant principals, teachers and staff, there would be no Public Relations program. When I haunted them for news, they produced something great. Thanks also to Ronnie Agostinelli, the best proof reader around. The bus drivers deserve a huge round of applause, as they were always there to get the releases to the newspapers on time.

Over the years, I did an enormous number of special events and our local merchants added to the success of these ventures. Hengstenberg's Florist, Things and Stuff, Prime, Culinary Heights, Manor Fruit Shack, Michelle's Hallmark, and to any others I may have missed, your product was consistently perfect and of the highest quality. The real heroes in the area of special events were the custodians. It couldn't have been done without them!

Working with the students and community was the highlight of my career. The first day of school with all those adorable kindergarten children was truly a favorite of mine. Sharing so many experiences with so many terrific young people was really very special. Homecoming and other events that were cooperative efforts with the Chamber of Commerce and the Village were a privilege to be a part of.

The Adult Education office has been my home for these many years. To Susan Schweitzer, Alice Zapf and Robert Palmer, my loyal friends, "You're the best!" Always ready to help to get the job done and done well.
