Kudos! to Elaine Ognibene! Her son, a high school chemistry teacher in Fairport, New York, won the New York State Teacher of the Year Award and is now eligible to win the National Award. There is no greater compliment to a life than to have one's children succeed--congrats Elaine and family!
Kudos! to Angela Belli! Her new edited volume, written with Jack Coulehan, Primary Care: More Poems by Physicians, has won literary acclaim from reviewers as a recent title from University of Iowa Press. Angela, a past NYCEA President, is a prolific writer focusing on medicine and literature. We all wish her a hearty congratulations for another successful publication!

Kudos! to Charles Ernst and Joseph Pestino! These two long-time NYCEA Board members, are also actively involved with the our national mother-organization, the CEA.
