From Cynthia Mace Arnett:
IMAGINE AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER that has stayed in the minds of his Sixth grade students for over 50 years?? IMAGINE AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL in Temple Terrace that still has an 'impact' and permanent fond memories for all these retirement age kids??. THAT IN ONE...... is MR. FRANK J. PUCCIARELLI and TEMPLE TERRACE ELEMENTARY!!!
On Sunday, October 28th those 60-something' boys and girls are coming together from near and far to honor their mentor from a Half a Century ago..........that's right...most of the class from School Year 1962-63 will meet at 12:30 in front of TT Elementary for photos.(stand and reminisce in their old classroom)....then on to Temple Terrace Carrabba's at 1:30 for a Special Luncheon with Guest of Honor....Mr. Frank J.Pucciarelli, now in his 80's.
