Marie Addario:  

ch better than we did. I don't think I learned that much in high school except how to survive adolescence. I remember some really special friends, some fun in academic and social clubs, writing a lot of poetry and singing in a singing group. College In 1963 Jersey City State was not yet a university, but it taught many of us Jersey kids that there was more out there than we thought. I've used my education and degrees from JCSC all my life, and I've never stopped singing since a Concert Choir try out with Doc Hansler that first September. I had so much fun with our singing group the 4+4. I keep in touch with a few of the group, and we have many good memories of performing at "State" and in the Village, with Doc Hansler always in the audience. We were the first ones to record, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". It became a hit about 10 years later for Roberta Flack when she performed it for the movie "Play Misty for Me." I met my husband of 46 years in my junior year at State, when he was visiting from medical school, lunching in the snack bar with his high school buddies. Jersey City State has been good to me, and was the pivotal point of my life. In this time of my life I really cherish memories of dear friends and classmates and look forward to hearing from you. I hope all is well and that good memories enhance your days and seasons.
