Nadine Gallo

Mrs. Gallo held writing classes at the Senior Center. Our group of about eight people had so much fun and I learned so much.

Mrs. Gallo was my fifth grade teacher. She took me under her wing (which I desperately needed). She once took me (and classmates) to NYC. It was life changing to see the city for the first time! We stayed at her mothers in Queens, went to the Met and church. I still to this day have a little prayer book that her mother gave me on that visit.

A great woman of many, many talents exploring everything life had to offer.
