I saw that you donated the piece of the original Joyce Kilmer Oak to the school at the MEF Garden Party. Thanks! I work in the school library. It will be nice to have something to connect the kids to our school's famous namesake.
Oh, and do you remember Mary Ann Wright? She is my sister, graduated from JK and is the same age as you.
