From Steve & Debbie Shanker

Rita,

Please accept our sympathies on the loss of your father. I remember him well having had him as my freshman algebra teacher. He was a wonderful teacher and role model. One thing that sticks out inmy mind after all these years was class on the morning of May 5,1961. You dad realized how important it was for us to be aware ofthings happening outside of the classroom and allowed us to listen toour transistor radios as Alan Shepard blasted off. While there weremany things we learned in school and rarely, if ever used again, yourDad's algebra teachings have stuck with me thru the years as I use itjust about every day here at work.

Please share this with Greta. It's been many years since I've seen you, as, as you can see, I too left Bayonne, but return afew times a year to visit the folks.

Again, our thoughts are with you,
Steve & Debbie Shanker
