This alumni from the Class of 1973 writes:
“After 44 years of reporting to corporate America, I will be retiring on September 5, 2017. Shortly thereafter, my wife, Cindy and I are planning a five-week tour of the west and northwest US and Canada. I suspect that much wine will be consumed along the way! After that, back to Detroit where I will begin construction of my model railroad. Follow my progress at www.jaysmodelrailroad.com.”
Thank you Jay and enjoy retirement!
Bob Beck, BCHS Class of 1979, shares this information:
“I retired at the end of June (2017) after 35 years of Government service – 4 in the USAF followed by 31 as a Government Civilian. My wife and I have spent 26 of the past 27 years overseas serving in U.S. Embassies across the world (Prague, Vienna, Sofia, Athens, Paris, Damascus, Baghdad, and Bangkok). Although I’ve retired, we head right back overseas at the end of July as my wife has a 2-year posting to the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, Turkey. It is a great big world out there!”
Enjoy retirement and travels!

Margaret writes to us about her work helping parents and students successfully learn to read:
“Since graduation, I have written over 100 books. I write an education column Dear Teacher for King Feature Syndicate. I also have a website, dearteacher.com to help parents get their children successfully through school from pre-school through college.
Also I have just developed my second app to teach children to read. You can get my three apps from my website dearteacher.com and you will be taken directly to the Apple App Store.
One app Dear Teacher is a totally free app for parents and the second two apps Skinny Books help your children learn to read more than 200 rhyming words and 37 basic sight words. Skinny Books 2 will help them learn an additional 200 rhyming words and 18 new sight words. In addition they will have learned almost every consonant sound. They will have an excellent start in becoming both readers and spellers.”
Thank you, Margaret, for sharing your passion for teaching with us!
