Dear Asher: Lauren J. Aaron received her Master's Degree in literacy from Columbia University Teachers' College Indiana University White Plains
Hon. Merik R. Aaron, Family Court Judge, County of Nassau, Westbury, NY
Dear Asher, It has been nine years since we met. That is when I retired from Townsend Harris HS and worked for Dr. J. Z. (Queens College-CUNY), but only briefly. Since that time, I have been a supervisor for student-teachers in a special year-long program at Adelphi University Crown Heights , Brooklyn, I was quite sure that all Jews had their roots in Eastern and Central Europe . You have opened my eyes to many aspects of another culture, as Sue and I were so happy to see this first-hand when we visited Greece Corfu , and the wonderful synagogue, will always be a cherished memory for us. So, thank you! Keep up the good work!!!
