MRTA honors former educators

SPECIAL TO THE VINDICATOR: The Mahoning Retired Teachers Association recently gathered for its annual In Memoriam program at Antone’s Banquet Centre. Members honored all deceased Mahoning County public educators for the 2013-2014 membership year. “The Unwinding,” a book by George Parker, was purchased by the John M. Knapick Memorial for deceased members and will become part of the collection at the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County. Some of those who participated in the program, from left, are Mary Jane Lewis, historian; Sally Knapick Winsen, In Memoriam chairwoman; Linda Vuletich, MRTA president; and Martha Lopez, Remembrance chairwoman.
