How about RUTH, the crossing guard lady ? I worked as a safety, wearing that stupid nerdy white belt ! Me and Richard Blander did duty together...
: I remember 273 fondly but that may be because we tend to forget the rotten things and remember the nice things.
: I remember:
: Mrs. Gunther 4th grade (a holy terror)
: Miss Shoemaker 5th grade
: Mrs. Kessock 6th grade (spoke beautiful French)
: I remember the safety squad that served as student crossing guards. I also remember going to Prospect Park to do a Maypole dance for Brooklyn-Queens Day. That was fun (NOT!).
: What was the name of the female teacher who walked with a cane (or a bad limp) after smashing up her white convertible on Wortman and Van Siclen Avenues?
: (Was it a Mrs. Douglas or something?)
