Dear Anthony- I learned of Elaine's passing by accident while speaking to a former colleague today. I seldom get out much because I can no longer walk.  Basically, I am out-of-touch with anyone from William Floyd, and don't receive any news about my fellow teachers. I now live in Barnegat, New Jersey. I moved out of Manhattan in December of 2018 to  care for my brother who had a massive heart attack. He passed in March of 2019. I first met Elaine in 1978 when I ran for union vice-president. She was a union rep at Woodhull Elementary at the time, and was instrumental in securing me a majority of votes in her building. Elaine was a true union leader. She continued to assist me wherever she could when I became president the following year. Her wisdom and guidance was priceless, and her honesty and integrity earned not only my respect, but the respect and admiration of all those that knew her. In my opinion, she was  the best librarian I ever had the pleasure to work with at William Floyd High School. Her boundless energy and commitment to the students was unmatched. As professional as she was, Elaine was a down-to-earth, sincere human being who always had a smile on her face. I am so sorry Parkinson's disease prevented me from spending more time with you and Elaine in Manhattan. Please forgive me for not finding the time, but know in your heart-of-hearts that I loved her dearly as a colleague and friend. I will miss her tremendously. -Lou DeCaro (772-882-8178)
