June Memories

June Memories


  • 2013- a trip to Northern Europe- Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Latvia, Russia, Germany and England
  • High School Gradation Ceremonies filled with students on the verge of a whole new life.

  • Both of my grandparents were born in June so we always had celebration for them.
  • The end of another school year.

  • June 5, 1900- My grandfather's birthday.  He was not Catholic and the nuns always told us that non-Catholics would never go to heaven.  So we made him spiritual bouquets for birthday gifts  and prayed that he would convert to Catholicism and join us in heaven.

  • 1973- I did it.  Much to many peoples' surprise, I graduated from high school. I hated just about every minute of high school, but I dragged my ass across that finish line.

  • The annual quiet after the storm: the day after school lets out and everyone has gone home.  I have the school building all to myself. As a high school principal, this is a lovely moment.

  • “O”: Cirque de Soleil, Las Vegas- 2015.  What a show!!!!!

  • summer school, dreadful summer school during my middle school years
  • 2007- The Artic Circle- Alaska

  • Summer break and long days outside.

  • 1963- New York World’s Fair

  • my garden is in full bloom.

  • 2005- a trip to Viet Nam and Cambodia
  • 2017- I moved to my new apartment in West Chester, PA.
  • 2000- Ireland; a trip with 15 family members

  • 2018- a road trip with Clay.  We went to the Grand Canyon, the Colorado River, Horseshoe Bend, the Petrified Forest, Montezuma Cathedral, Sedona, Antelope Canyon
