Title: Hackensack's Rosemarie Kasper - advocate for the disabled - dies at 78
Post by: BLeafe on February 15, 2016, 12:47:48 PM

I didn't know her personally, but I remember seeing her in her wheelchair when we were both students at Bergen Community College in the early 70s and have seen her name in the paper ever since, doing good things for the disabled.

If there was such a thing as a disabled Superwoman, Rosemarie would have been that woman.

This article was on the front page of The Record today:

The below picture was in the paper, but not in the online article. It's an important one to show locally.
