Topic: Life

Mr. Mag (Maglione), one of our 6th grade teachers at Edgemont in Montclair, NJ, passed away July 8, 2010, in South Carolina. He had a way with knowing how to use humor to get our cooperation. Whether he was our actual classroom teacher or not, he had a positive influence on all of us.

Further on you will find links to online obituary and guestbooks.

This was the 1961-62 6th grade class (high school grad class 1968). Link to download the high-res file is just below. Scroll down to see a few other 6th grade classes. If anyone has other 6th grade class pics from Edgemont to add to this, let me know. (My contact info is everywhere except here!)  photo - 6th grade, 1961 Edgemont Elementary school, Montclair NJ
