When invited by Fr. Daniel Mulcahy to bring my talents, experience, and education to Assumption School, I will tell you: " At first, I thought I wanted to just be retired. Once I got here, I realized that I had never had a situation this fulfilling before. I love teaching at Assumption School. I wouldn't leave for the world!"
