In 1965, Norman Beckenstein was my principal at PS45K.
The brilliant educator had us come to the school on Satirdays, voluntarily, for teacher training. Mr. Beckenstein was a "PRINCE OF A PRINCIPAL." At our end term celebrations he would sing..." bye bye birdie".
Norman Beckenstein was an educator and a true leader.




I also just learned of Norman's passing and was saddened to hear of it. He was a fine colleague in Labor Relations at the NYC Board of Education. He was warm, understanding and conscientious and brought valuable school experience to the office. I remember how happy he was to come to work on is first day in the office. He brightened all our lives. He was also very proud of his family and kept us apprised of their achievements. I am glad to have known him.

I am writing now because I learned only today that Norman passed away.  He was a wonderful colleague at Labor Relations.  He was a good man and a good friend.  I am glad I paid him a visit at his home some months before he passed.  He was told me In great detail his recollections of his work in Labor Relations and of his service in the Pacific.
May he rest in peace.
