My mother would organize huge parties for my elementary school classmates. To prepare, she would go back to the bakery in her old neighborhood of Inwood and get special shamrock cookies. Hawaiian Punch was served and we had shamrock napkins. It was a lot of fun.

I was an elementary school teacher.

The library of my elementary school had this great biography section, and I read all of these paperback biographies until they were dog-eared. The story of Eleanor Roosevelt and Madame Curie and Martin Luther King and George Washington Carver and on and on and on.

I have a lot of memories of Falls Church. I went to grade school in Madison Elementary School.

I played piano back in my elementary school days and I sang a cappella back in college.

I went to elementary school in Ottawa, and then to a private secondary school.
