Every winter, a bunch of retired Staples folks get together for a mini-reunion in Florida.
Still, after spending so many years working in Westport, they know there’s no place like “home.”
So last Thursday, the 1st-ever “Staples Retiree Reunion” was held at the picnic area near the Longshore marina.
Former staff members — teachers, administrators, secretaries, nurses, you name it — gathered to socialize, reminisce and laugh.
Front Row: Alice Addicks (grade level assistant), Jyl King (secretary), Elaine Haner (secretary), Camy Rando (secretary). : Rear: Bill Brookes (science), Alan Jolley (math), Ernie Harrington (science) Geza Taranko (secretary), Amedeo Cannone (dean), Jeff Lea (French).
The crowd included spouses, and one “retiree-in-training.”
Former vice principal Lee Littrell organized the event.
They stayed as long as they wanted. There were no bells.
