I have many happy memories hanging out on Mark Lane. Seems like lightyears ago...I still have the original piece of paper Mrs. Castelli gave me with the ingredients for homemade manicotti. They are together now...sending love, hugs and prayers.

I was so sorry to learn of Mr. Castelli's passing. He was a person that I looked up to as I went through our Clarkstown school system and learned about BOCES. He was not just a great teacher; he was someone who listened and gave good advice. I will always remember him with great appreciation and respect. I am sorry for your loss.
