Comments:

I taught for one year, then went to work at CBS Television where I became a producer/writer of
WCBS-TV NEWS. I later joined International Institute for Learning to produce global satellite broadcasts. In 2006 our company published the book I had written, The Power of Acknowledgment and I have subsequently trained over 10,000 project managers, engineers, and executives in the 7 Principles of Acknowledgment. I am finishing my second and third books, "Leadership and The Power of Acknowledgment" and "The Power of Acknowledgment for Kids." These should be published shortly. I love contributing to people with this life-altering, transformational message. I have gone all over the world to deliver it and plan to do a lot more of this.

School Story:

We had to read so many books in such a short time in Mr. DuCharme's AP English class, that when I got to NYU, where I planned to become an English teacher, I went to my advisor and said I just couldn't take pleasure in reading any more books. He told me to read only cereal boxes, comic books and True Confessions magazines for several months -- and read only what I absolutely had to read for my courses. It worked, and I regained my love of reading. I continued to love Mr. DuCharme throughout, in spite of the grueling reading/writing schedule we had to follow.

Hi Marcie! Nice to "see" you. How is life? I'm doing well for this age and stage. I'm very grateful for family and friends, kids and grande kids. Bob and I just reached our 57th anniversary. Please write to my email at judianne14@yahoo.com.

I have been an infrequent visitor to this site (please forgive me) so I just saw this sad, sad news. I met and became good friends with Shelley at Davis and just remember her incredibly sweet smile and her never getting into a fight or an argument with anyone! I didn't realize what great contributions she made as an adult and I'm sorry I didn't get to know her better in that phase of our lives.

Congratulations, Faye, on reaching 3/4 of a century! Most of us are right behind you, too (only a few ahead of you, I think). Hope it was a great day for a great lady. Love, Judy

Hi Bob! A very happy birthday to you. How do you feel about being 74 (I am guessing that this is what you're celebrating)? I still feel like I'm 16, but someone gave me a seat recently because he said he likes to show respect for his elders. That was just awful!!! :) Let's all just stay 16 at least in mind and spirit...

Happy birthday, Ellen! I've finally mastered the process of getting into this site. It has taken me ages. Hope you're doing well!.

Hey Fred, I just responded to your message from April! It's taken me a zillion tries to get into this site, but I'm here now! Best, Judy

Hey Ralph(ie)! Hope you got the birthday song that Bob and I sent you yesterday (with harmony). Making up for years of being late for your special date! Hope it was a great celebration.

Hi fellow Judy (weren't there a lot of us in those days!). I want to wish you a very happy birthday and a wonderful year ahead! Let me know if you're ever heading toward the New York area. It would be fun to meet up.
