(-Deb Karnes)
This is the
continuing (hopefully!) story of a group of friends who enjoy
each other's company and, more importantly perhaps, relish
food in most any form. It started as an idea (by me, of
course!) and was embraced by a group of hungry adults seeking
new culinary adventures. And so the story goes...
The original idea was to experience a
variety of eateries, one a month, if possible. The four couples
include:
---Deb & Tom Karnes
---Deb & Don Teator
---Judy & Tim Adams
---Kriss & Ken Monteverd
There's a teacher in each couple: three from
Cairo-Durham and one from Hudson; one school worker, and three
"real" world workers, who remind us of that fact regularly,
especially when the five school workers affect an air of superiority!
Big Change #1 - Tim & Judy
move; DP8 fills group with substitutes (see below)
amended:
-- July 2006: retirement of the Hudson teacher
-- July 2009: "retirement" of the school worker
-- Spring 2010: half retirement of one "real worlder"; full-time by
late 2011
-- July 2010: retirement of a Cairo-Durham teacher
-- June 2011: retirement another Cairo-Durham teacher
-- Jan 2013: another "real worlder"
-- (last CD teacher -- to be announced)
-- (last "real worlder" -- to be announced)
-- Aug 1, 2013 -- the Adamses move
-- June 2014 -- retirement of another C-D teacher, the last one
-- ? one to go
And with retirement, comes absences due to long-awaited
vacations, with willing and able substitutes to round out the table. So, thank
you:
--Joyce & Mark Notarnicola
--Julie & Kerry Quinn
--Julie Johnson & Dennis Mower
--Lynda Pisano & Ross Burhouse
