I remember that Mr. Marino was the first principal who took a chance on me, a newbie to the teaching profession. He hired me on the spot after asking me to come for an interview. He was very sweet and kindhearted - asking me often once I started working at the Adams School - if there was anything I needed to make the job work more efficiently for me. I think he would’ve given me the moon if I’d asked, or at least tried to! He will be sorely missed by all who knew him - a dear sweet man. Rest In Peace Mr. Marino!
