Several times a year a group of retired teachers from John Greene Elementary school come together to reminisce about their time teaching at the school and catching up with one another since their retirement. The teachers all worked together in the 1960s and continue to have strong friendships. They recently got together to share a meal and enjoy each other’s company. Pictured from left are Bert Finan, former principal John Welch, Marcy Welch, Alice Clothier Clarkin, Jane Rymell Mainella, Beatrice Pezza Flynn, Susan George Ray, Karen McKenna McKenzie and Phyllis Tracy.

Mrs. Marcantonio! Mrs. Tracy! Mrs. Mainella, I remember when you came back to school with your new name. Mr. Welch, seriously, the best principle ever. You all look so well. I remember moving here from the "city". My first day of school in my new second grade classroom with Mrs. Marcantonio. Mr. Welch had to walk me down the hall to class, I was having none of it and wanted to go home. Mrs. Marcantonio took my little hand and told me it was going to be alright and she sat me right down in the first row. I don't think I left that seat all day!!! But to this day I remember her being my favorite teacher (along with Mrs. Tracy & (Jane Rymell) and often tell my daughter stories about my time @ John Greene.
