Eddie,
Very sorry for your loss of Joan to you and the kids. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope that my contribution to the playground comes with a splinter from the Rockaway Boardwalk; what would we be without them?

Mrs. Keating was a wonderful teacher! I was lucky enough to have her as my 8th grade teacher! She was so down to Earth and approachable. She always genuinely cared and wanted the best for her students. I'm extremely saddened to hear of her passing. Sending prayers to her family. She really really was a wonderful woman.
