Fifty years ago - July 15, 1961 - my Resurrection School fourth
grade students - not all 48 of the nine-year olds - attended my wedding to
Daniel DeCarlo, at St. Francis Church, Cicero, Il.
They proudly presented us with a beautiful rococo silver serving
tray which has been a treasured reminder of those wonderful students. It is
as pretty today as it was when new. They happily told me they each "chipped
in" 25 cents and one of the mothers - Mrs. Cotton, I believe - made the
purchase. Thanks again to all for a memorable gift which has been used for many
happy family events.
I turned to journalism when my sons, Mark, Michael and Danny,
were in elementary school. I didn't continue to teach long-term in elementary
school. Instead, I wrote for newspapers, magazines and businesses and taught
writing classes in colleges.
It is hoped my Resurrection School 1960-1961 students went on to
success and happiness in their lives...to me, they remain the darling
nine-year olds of my first fourth grade class.
Wherever they are I send my best wishes - God Bless.
Angela Rocco DeCarlo
