Ellen's Story

Graduated Rutgers University Graduate School of Social Work in 1973. I've had several careers, all honorable.. I've been a social worker most of my life working with the elderly and mentally ill. I also spent time working for my Dad in his retail clothing stores. I had to retire in 2011 because of medical issues. I still miss social work. I enjoy, reading a book, watching an old movie, and talking to my best friend, another ‘68 graduate, Debbie Flam.. After my beloved Dad passed in 2012, I live and spend a lot of my time with my Mom, now 97. Those who know me well know I love dogs. I now have Chauncey #6, a 20 lbs rescue who’s my little buddy. I love all animals. If I won $100 million, I'd give much of it to family and friends, then spend the rest on me, and charities. My current age is 71. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be on their way out. I was so completely wrong. My best friend would tell you I'm too emotional, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me ...Expand for more
as too emotional. You don't wear the same clothes you wore 10-20 years ago, not when you don't have the same figure you used to. My favorite trophy is the one my boss gave me, a mug that says "Miracle Worker" Sharon Schwartz was my best friend from 2nd grade through school. We just loved being together. We're still in contact. Right now, my favorite mate is Deborah Flam who was also a graduate in '68. Besides my Dad's death, the worst tragedy of my life was the loss of a dear friend, Debbie Goldstein Hecht. I miss her every day. My first job was at VA Hospital, Lyons, NJ, where I got paid $11,000 to be a psychiatric social worker. What I remember most about it is it was the best experience a newbee could have and taught me how to be a great social worker. A great memory from childhood is my Dad, every summer, taking all the kids on the block for ice cream after supper. Hello and wishing good health to all my classmates. I so enjoy seeing everyone at reunions. In my home, dog hair is a fashion accessory.
