What year did you become a member of the PS 230 community?

I became a member of PS 230 in September 1989.

What do you like to do for fun?

I enjoy taking walks on the beach, perusing book stores, going to Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, gardening, visiting amusement parks, skiing, and traveling.

What is your favorite book?

I have so many favorites it is difficult to choose. Some of my favorite books are "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane," "The Book Thief," "Falling Leaves," and "Night." I also love reading historical fiction.

What was your favorite subject when you were in elementary school and why?

History was my favorite subject. I loved learning about the past and still do.

Do you have kids? If so, tell us about them!

I have three wonderful children. All my children were students at PS 230. Meghan, my eldest, is a speech pathologist in a nursing facility. Every week she collects quotes from her residents and posts them on social media. They are funny, a bit sad, and very wise. Lauren, my middle child, works as an administrative assistant. She loves cats, traveling, and going out to eat. John, my youngest, loves playing and watching sports. He is an avid Met and Jet fan.
