To the entire Chamberlain Family:
The Rippowam Class of 1973 would like to express our sincere condolences on the passing of Mrs. Chamberlain. She was our class advisor and we were grateful for the guidance she provided us all during our time at Ripp. If you were not aware, there is a brick walkway next to AITE High School behind the Rippowam building that commemorates many of the students, coaches, teachers and memories from the school's history. The Class of '73 purchased a bench there to honor your mom and the late Frank Salverezza, our other advisor. So her memory as a teacher there will always be present. I am sending a photo of the plaque that is on the bench with this note as we thought you might like it as a remembrance of her lifelong dedication to students in Stamford and beyond.
Tom Chiappetta, Rippowam Class of '73
