Open Quote My sons graduated from PS 75 in the mid 90s. Memories are rich and they still speak fondly of their schooling there, and are still close with the friends they made there. So lovely to see it flourishing. Mr. O'Brien had just arrived in my son Peter's 4th grade year, but we were very impressed by his wonderful spirit and dedication. And there he is 20 years later. A miracle! Close Quote
