A note from your class councilor:
Morton Cohn of Commack, N.Y., passed away Feb. 20, 2022, at the age of 91. He was very fond of his time in Albany. Morton was a teacher for 35 years. His son, Steven, wrote, “He was such a warm blessing to those around him.”

Louise Petfield Burns shared her experience living near the wild fires in Colorado Springs. Stay safe, Louise!

That is all I can bring to your attention this time. I will be pestering you for news for publication in December. Start thinking what you might contribute! C’mon Red Devils!
