Linda, I totally agree with you about Mrs. Lannon. What a wonderful woman she was! I remember her teaching us to sing in French,Fraera Jaqua,(or however you spell that) I took spanish in HS so French wasn't my thing. ANYWAY, other teachers I absolutely loved was Sr.Matthew Joseph, big as she was and scary too, along with Miss Gilhooley,she was absolutely beautiful, Sr. Maureen Francis, Sr. Margaret Ann. I also liked Sr. Regina Rose, but I know others have different opinions of her. I met her years later when she was Dr. Marchigano's receptionist up in Cedar Grove, where I was taking my children for dr. appts. She seemed at peace. Maybe from what others have written about her, she would have been better out of the education/religious sector, and put into a layman's position. But I always found her to be very cordial, and when I'd bring up teaching at SRL, she seemed pleased that someone remembered that she was still a nun, and I still gave the the respect then, as I did way back in my school days. I guess I was the exception to have had a positive experience in Catholic school, whether it was grammar school or High School. I wouldn't have changed it at all. |
