Rosalind's Story

When asked in 1966, just prior to graduation by Mrs. Gertrude Weil, GO teacher in charge, I said I wanted to be flying around the world with TWA. Why TWA, because they were an international carrier and I wanted to see the world. I did not work for TWA, but for Chemical Bank, as a secretary. I was so proud of the fact that I aced the steno test (was on Honor Roll throughout my years at Central), and I thanked all my teachers in my head, since I could not reach many of them anyway! I stayed true to Chemical for 33 1/2 years at which time I had become an Assistant Vice President. My Department, Lien Perfection, was whisked off to Houston, Tx., because it was much more cost effective.

Well, that was a bit of a shocker, however, I understood his dilimma. He left on Sat., 9/8. I hired a Divorce Attorney on 9/10 and you can guess the rest. No, Michael did not perish, although he continues to work for the SEC; his building fell but he was spared, thank the Lord. I printed my first batch of business cards that fall and because of the 9/11 issue, things were very slow. I did not give up and today I am the proud Chef/Owner of "That Personal Touch Cuisine", a personal chef service. I followed my heart and my bliss and that's all she wrote!!! Would love to see all of you Centralites at the forthcoming CCHS Class of '66 Reunion. Best, Roz Rosello-Balducci
