      Thank you Mrs. Jones. It is very nice hearing from you. I have not played much recently, but I am constantly asked to when people find out that I was trained by such a wonderful teacher. Perhaps I will have to move the old upright player piano from Fairport to my home in Massachusetts. If my playing is no good, at least I can let the piano do the work!

    I am so sorry to read this. Marion and I and 5 other friends went to high school together and have stayed in touch and met frequently for dinner/lunch until Covid put a halt on our get-togethers. She was always a happy person and we will all miss her. Marilyn Sutter Lane

    I am sadly to hear about Mrs. Gutzmer passing.. Mrs. Gutzmer was my ESL teacher at Rush Henrietta Senior High School. She was such a DEVOTED ESL teacher to all her students. Without her dedication most of us would have not graduated. I graduated from Rush Henrietta in 1991. Moved to Pfluverville Texas ( Near Austin Texas )
    Every year MrS. Gutzmer always sent me Christmas card.
    From this year on I will be be receiving anymore card. Each year the writing on the card seemed to be different and I knew that each watch her writing looked different. I will treasured all the cards I received from her.

    I will truly missed her ?????

    May her soul rest in heaven ??????

    Sending my deep condolences to Mrs. Gutzmer family
