TOM GOLDSCHMIDT-TEACHER EXTRAORDINARE

by Gus Danks | GCHS Alumnus Class of '63

(reprinted from The Maryan 1963 yearbook)

 

Tom was my English teacher at Gloucester Catholic High School in South Jersey fifty-five years ago. He died last week at the age of eighty-one. He graduated first in his class at Villanova many years ago and came back for a few years to his former high school to teach us and to serve as an excellent role model.

I told Tom on a few occasions that he was the best teacher I ever had - in high school or in college. He was an excellent lecturer and an elevating presence to students like me, who surely were in need of some elevation. He continued in teaching for many years at Moorestown High School before moving into the real estate industry.

Childhood Cancer Awareness

Pictured below along with Cassidy (centered) are family and friends

September was Childhood Cancer Awareness month.  Gloucester City High School honored Cassidy Voll, a Junior and cancer survivor during halftime of the GHS vs. New Egypt football game.  She was accompanied by her family.

Throughout the past few weeks under the guidance of our Nurse, Mrs. Stewart, Cassidy and her GHS classmates coordinated multiple fundraisers to raise awareness for this powerful & important cause.  Mr. Gorman proudly communicated "that the Gloucester City High School community collectively raised well over $1,000 that will be donated to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in Cassidy's honor. 

CHOP provided excellent care to Cassidy  as she was diagnosed with Leukemia in the 6th grade.  That diagnosis led her to endure 5 rounds of chemotherapy.  She is now in remission but has been further challenged by results of the chemotherapy which have required her to have bilateral hip replacements and stem cell transplants.  Most recently, Cassidy braved through ankle replacements as physicians worried in the spring of 2017 that she may be facing lower leg amputations.  To say that Cassidy is the definition of "lionhearted" would be an understatement.  We are infinitely proud of Cassidy and endlessly grateful for the difference that she makes at Gloucester High School each day."

Cassidy released balloons in memory of children who lost their battle to cancer.

MERGING LITTLE TOWNS IN NJ--The State of New Jersey is conducting a study on the possibility of merging the smallest towns in the state. There are a total of 191 communities on the table, according to NJ Advance Media. Nearly 200 of New Jersey's 565 towns could be slammed together as a potential cost-cutting measure to help ease the state's crushing tax burden.  Towns with populations of less than 5,000 people would be forced to merge with an adjacent town.

Some of those towns in the immediate area include Audubon Park (population 993), Avalon (population 1421), Brooklawn (1954), Cape May (3529), Clementon (4924), Gibbsboro (2157), Lawnside (2923).
