Along with the lifetime friends I've made at THA, Mrs. Kaufman and Cantor Janice Cohon come to mind when I think of my years there. Mrs. Kaufman was more than a math teacher; she was part of my family. I also loved how Cantor Cohen brought the beauty of music into my life. A generation later, all three of my children were blessed to be taught by her as well.

I loved playing sports in general, but I was a Song Leader in high school, and I’ve always loved volunteering at THA while my children attended.
