Many of my 8 brothers and sisters of the Brennan/Laudisi family remember Mrs. Colgan fondly having had her as a teacher at St. Charles. We have been sharing our memories amongst each other since we heard of her passing. We were so sorry to hear of it. If you would like to hear some of our memories, please email me.
