Hackensack History / Re: Remembering Fanny Meyer Hillers

Hillers was a great school. I had Mr. Fox for my 5th grade teacher in 1969. A great teacher and person. Other teachers I remember were Mr. Wilson and Mr. Decter. I think Mr. Parino taught Art there at some time during my years there. There was also a custodian named Charlie. He was tall and thin, was there a long time I believe. Really nice guy. Friends with everybody. He would sometimes let us in the gym after school or on an occasional Saturday. That couldn't happen today, too much liability. Simpler times. Mr. Kaminsky was the Principal. Remember that scene in "A Christmas Story" when Flick licked the flagpole and his tongue got stuck to it? That happened one year to a student. He pulled his tongue off and there was blood everywhere in the snow. It was horrifying for us little kids. I'm sure he lost a miniscule of blood, but seeing it on the snow freaked everybody out.
