Fran Roscello Retires

After so many years in any career, it is inevitable that the people who have mentored and guided you will move on to another adventure in their life. Unfortunately it is not until they are about to leave that you realize how much they have led and shaped your own career. Fran is one of those people. I have know her for many years and her work at the New York State Education Department has shaped my own work in many ways.
What a pleasure it was for me then, to be able to celebrate her career at this reception in that beautiful Education Department Building. Here I am with (to my left) Fran Roscello, Mary Ratzer and another of my mentors, Pat Webster.
Unfortunately I have no idea who the woman in the flowered skirt is – but she was at the reception too so she must be a friend and colleague of Fran’s!
