Comments

Mimi and I have been married for over 45 years. She is beautiful on the outside and the inside and I am the luckiest guy in the world. (Not bad for a guy who could barely get a date in high school) After graduating college and grad school, I started my work life as a teacher and wrestling coach at Central High School in Providence, RI. Several years later I was invited to join our family business, Steel Warehouse, and I have been there ever since.
I have no plans to retire because I am enjoying every day of "work" life

Mimi and I have been involved in community projects and have been blessed with a wonderful and caring family

School Story

I was extremely fortunate to have some great teachers and coaches. Mr. Goodman, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Bilby, Mrs. Bohan, Miss Steele were among those who come to mind immediately.
Mr. Simpson was my baseball coach and Mr./Coach Wally Gartee was my wrestling coach and one of the most inspiring people I have ever known.
Coach Gartee was demanding and fair. He was far more than just a coach.
The debate team was loaded with characters--one of which was our coach and "supreme leader" Mr. Charles Goodman.
There are too many wonderful memories to report in this space but I will be happy to share them with anyone at the reunion

happy Birtrhday, young lady. AS the editor of the Hi Times (as I recall), you were very kind and patient with me as sports editor since I got you my articles (untyped) at the last minute and you never complained. Also , I recall how fine a student you were and if my memory serves, did you marry a guy who was also a wrestler (was it at Adams?).WAS it that battle Ax, Mrs. Miller who was the faculty sponsor of the High Times? Tha t took lots of patience and courage and you were the person for that difficult job. Bestg wishes forf goo healtha and happiness. Sincerely,

Mike Lerman

Hi Kathy, Hapy birthday, young lady. I have very fond memories of you and Tom at Riely and then as I watched oth of youas master planners for our class reunions. It makes sense
It makes total sense to me that you were a nurse. . Recently, I had a stroke and I was treated like a king (or better) by the devoted nursing staff a Memorial. I think your kindness, warmth and grace fit the disposition of the wonderful nurses that were so so kind and capable during my stay at the hospital. May G-d bless you, Tom, your kids ids and grand kids for many years of good health an d happiness. Be well, my friend. Mike and Mimi Lerman.
