Art, the fact that we continue to sign in to listen and read about one another though we’ve had little contact supports how meaningful Wheatley was to each of our fostering. The caliber of our education, our professors, stimulated us enough for a life when education seems now to have become so meaningless. I’m hoping a number of you can attend my Art RETROSPECTIVE. Though I never took Art in high school the stimulation of Wheatley was enough to create a searching persona across many disciplines to this day

Hi Art,

Wonderful to see that you got together with Mr. Israel and Mrs. Bartscherer. When I think back on my time at Wheatley, David Israel probably had the biggest impact on me as an incredible teacher. A difficult grader for sure, but he taught us all how to write. I always looked up to him and the wisdom he shared.

Wheatley ‘65, 2025 is 60 years. Anyone up for a reunion next year on Long Island?

Great picture of Art with David Israel. Mr. Israel was one of my most inspiring and knowledgeable teachers and I am glad he looks well (easy to recognize him as if it were just yesterday).
