Hey Renee Aronin and anyone else who had Mr. Galitzer at 65th st school.
I talked to him by phone recently ! He's doing fine. Just PM me on FB if you want his number
This is very sad news. I did not know Bob personally but Renee was one semester ahead of me in my sixth grade class with Mr. Galatzer. Most of us at Marshall would have know who Bob was simply because he was at the top of the page in the 1962 year book for 11th grade. (No senior class.)
Just 30 people for us youngsters to look up to an admire.
I imagine Bob was among the very first graduates from Marshall.
Looking back, it was quite over-whelming to make the transition from a small grade school to a large Junior-Senior High. It was nice having someone to look up to.
Welcome. I still remember you and your brother. Hope you are well.
Thanks for posting the photos Renee Aronin. You were a semester ahead of me in Mr. Galitzer's 6th grade class. He was absolutely the best teacher I ever had (including HS and college) and I suspect you feel that way too.
Many years later I ran into him again at my daughter's middle school.
I returned on conference day and talked to him for over an hour. He remembered in detail every student he ever had. He knew more about my friends that I even did. Hope you are well.
I sure remember him well, this is sad news indeed.

IIRC you were in my mechanical drawing class...the only girl! I thought that was pretty neat!
NY tour was run by the Meyer & Dietel agency and we stayed in the Edison Hotel. I recall spending time with Michael Lerner, Connie Fox and Howard Tarnoff. I stole this hanger from the hotel. My wife and I go to NY every year and once even stayed at the Edison. I even considered returning the hanger but thought better of it.
OK folks> Who went on that class trip to NY in 1966? It got my career as a photographer started . First time I ever used a 35mm camera and I've been behind the lens ever since.
My wife, Colleen will be retiring from her position as gallery director, to paint full time.
