How
many couples can you think of who taught in Hicksville Schools. I had Mr. and
Mrs. Howard in 5th grade at Woodland Avenue in the 60's. I don't know if Mrs.
Pellerin the music teacher at Woodland was married to Mr. Pellerin the orchestra
teacher. Also, there was a
Mrs. Gouse who taught I think 4th grade at Woodland in the early 60s and
Mr.
Gouse who was head of the music dept? Does anyone remember or know if I am
correct?

Dr. Basil Warner and Mrs. Karen
Warner ...HHS Math. Had Basil for Calculus, and Karen for Geometry...a very odd
couple!
Also Grace Graiser and Kenneth Graiser...HHS English. They were both great
teachers...
Carl
Feinman 1972
...Dr.
Warner looked like WC Fields and told very bad jokes. He was 30 years older than
his wife...David Blaushild 1971
Karen,
at one time, was one of his students...Eileen
Heym Lutz 1966
They
drove in every day from New Jersey. Karen
always wore blue...lol...Carl
...Karen's
parents lived across the street from me on Gables Drive. Would see them both
there often. They all seemed so sad all the time. The parent's would always yell
at the kids in the neighborhood if their ball went into their yard...Karen
Drake McGee 1977
I
had Dr. Warner for Geometry and Mrs. Warner for something...maybe homeroom...had
Mr. Aaron for Trig and that was the end of my mathematical career at HHS. I went
on to thrive with Calculus and Statistics through graduate programs...so it was
a good solid foundation...Christina
Darnowski
...Dr
and Mrs Warner in the high school...Christina Sardi O'Donnell 1975
...I
had Mrs. Warner for geometry and trig. She was a graduate of class of 61 with my
sister who knew her. Mr. Warner was one of her teachers. I remember thinking.
You're my sisters age about 30 years old, but you dress like my grandmother.
She seemed so much older than she actually was. She
was nice enough...Phill
Michael Urena 1972
...Dr.
and Mrs. Warner in HHS. He taught math, I think she did too but I can't find her
in my yearbook. Perhaps she was on sabbatical...Lynne
Lombardi 1971
...Didn't
Dr. Warner own one blue suit that he wore every day? I remember him as a very
good teacher...Richard Bowra 1968
Maybe he had several of the same outfit
and it appeared that he wore the same outfit every day...Buffalo
Bob Casale
Yes to the suit. I had him for AP calculus and
thought he was great. She was much younger than he was and there were rumors
that she had been his student...Lynne
Mr.
and Mrs. Pat and Margie D'Ambrosio (taught at Old Country Rd 1953-1985 and was
also the district psychologist and she taught at Fork Lane in the 1950s).
Also, Hicksville
HS English teacher Richard Gentile and his wife, Antoinette Sanna Gentile who
was the Italian teacher.Was so funny when rude teenagers used to ask him,
"How come you don't have kids?" and he would respond, "Because
I'm afraid they might turn out like you!" One time we were reading a short
story called "By the Waters of Babylon" and Mr Gentile asked one of
the kids they used to call burnouts in the 80s, "So tell me...what do you
know about Babylon?" and the kids says, "Not much...but I went there
with the bus a few weeks ago."Mary
Lombardi Blaney 1986
LMAO
Yes,
Vicki. The Pellerin's, the Gouse's, were indeed married couples of the music
department. Also, the Abt's...Herb
Bradensten 1973
Herb-
Who was Mrs. Abt? Which school or subject?...Vicki
Berk Mass 1972
Don't
remember which school but, I believe she was a choral teacher in an elementary
school. Hillary Sperber would know in a flash!...Herb
The
gouses were married...Shari
Hinden
I
had The Howards.. She was Miss Gamzon when she first arrived in 1963...Patricia Cody
I
wonder what ever happened to them. I remember the year I had Mrs. Howard she
told the class she was "expecting". I guess she was not allowed to say
it any other way in those days...Vicki
Berk Mass
I remember Mrs. Lynn Breining Carpenter (Art) and
Mr. carpenter ( Biology)
Jeanne
Dagna 197
Forgot
about them. Yes, and last I heard they live out east.....maybe Riverhead or
maybe Greenport...Vicki
Didn't
know that. Both great teachers...Christina
Mr.
and Mrs. Smith. Thinking junior high? He was English and she was maybe home ec?...Lorraine Jurgens Pilszak
