We sadly bade farewell to our longtime colleagues Brunhild (Bruni) Phillips and Regina Blackley who decided after 30, respectively 28 years, to retire from our faculty. Bruni had been school director and teacher at our Mission Viejo School for these three decades and Regina taught at the same school for almost as long. Both were loved and highly respected by students and parents alike. Their honorary membership certificate and beautiful orchids were presented to them by our president Rita Reiff at the dinner following GASA’s yearly Teachers’ Seminar on August 21 at the Phoenix Club. We will miss Bruni and Regina very much and wish them all the best for the future.
