Family, friends, and staff members feted four retiring
faculty members on Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Leaving West Springfield
High School after many years of service are Nancy Albright, Patti
McMillan, Mary Moriarty, and Sue Spatcher. Invited guests, retirees,
and staff members mingled in Spartan Hall. Patti could not be
with us because she was celebrating the birth of her first grandchild.
Assistant Principal Richard Griffin introduced each retiree, invited
administrators and department chairpersons to share memories about
each retiree, and thanked them for their numerous contributions
and years of service. The retirees introduced their guests, regaled
us with their favorite stories, and summarized their varied experiences
at West Springfield. We shall miss their cheerful smiles, generous
natures, and expert leadership. |
