MONTICELLO, NY (September 12, 2011) – The annual Retirees Breakfast for the faculty and staff of the Fallsburg Central Jr. – Sr. High School and the Benjamin Cosor Elementary School took place on Thursday, September 8 at the Blue Horizon Diner in Monticello.

It has become a much anticipated tradition for the teachers and staff to gather during the opening week of school. The group often hears from retirees who live too far away to attend. Letters are read, photos are shown, and a lot of catching up is done.

This year, many anecdotal stories were shared honoring Martin Van Vleet, a former Guidance Counselor and much loved basketball coach who recently passed away.

The group offers special thanks to Ceil Cohen and Nancy Catalano for organizing this year’s breakfast.
