WHAT A LONG STRANGE TRIP IT'S BEEN...
I am retired from teaching for the NYC BOARD of Education (I won't call it Department of Education). After 25 years including 10 years as UFT Chapter Leader, I put in my papers today. I am retired effective tomorrow.
I will have the summer to detox before starting a new position at Fordham University. C U on the Facebooks.
Congratulations John! The Board of Ed's loss is Fordham's gain. All the best in your future endeavors and wishing you many, many decades of healthy and happy retirement.
Camille and I consider John as one of our true friends in the union activist world. We hope he stays active as a UFT retiree.
Good luck, John.
ReplyDeleteIf only the UFT had more people like you...
DOE, BOE, SOB; it's still the SOS. Good luck John...Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCongrats John. Let's do lunch, preferably on the first day of the next school year.
