ReplyWhat about the song, "Soon it's Gonna Rain," from the musical ''The Fantasticks"?
It bothers me that whoever names these storms, could choose a friendly name like Sandy for a less-than friendly storm. Helene (Hank) Plotkin -

ReplyThe story and video are touching. The song sends a message to everyone. If I send the video to a friend who has a 17-year old daughter with special needs, if the video will travel to families with special needs children across the nation. Helene Plotkin

ReplyI want to edit the comment, I just posted. I wanted to say, My son graduated Fair Lawn High last year. I remember getting lost in the school numerous time. There was always a custodian to show me the correct way to get to where I wanted to go. These men were always cheerful and willing to go out of there way to help a lost parent, My son counted on the custodians, too.. Helene Plotkin

ReplyI would hate to see the Fair Lawn Post Office on River Road closed. The staff is friendly and helpful. The Radburn Post Office is too far from River Road and the parking difficult. The River Road Post Office is much easier for handicapped and the elderly people. Helene

On the article Teen Kicked Out Of School After Family Forced To Sell Home

My son graduated Fair Lawn High last year. We moved to Fair Lawn for its high school, (after moving from the Bronx) he made great friends and was involved in wonderful activities, like the Jazz Ensemble and Masques. I remember his graduation as a deeply touching experience.
I can't believe that Bruce Watson and the Board of Ed won't let Torey graduate with his class. After all they were Fair Lawn residents for 17 years. Doesn't that count for anything? Parents going through a divorce is hard enough on a teen, and being torn from the high school from which he thought you would graduate just makes a bad situation worse. I wish Torey the best.

Sounds like a Sandy Hook wannabe to me.
