or me, this was a week of events that Fbrought back mem- ories of things past. I visited the Children's Center of the Islands for a brief talk with the new director, Susan Peck. My daughter attended this school in the early 1990s. She's now a 7th grader at Cypress Lake Middle. I had a warm and fuzzy feeling walking up the steps to the front door. Looking in the window I saw Lu Sares Scott Martell teaching a class of kids. She was one of Willow's teach- Executive Editor ers. They were in a room I remember well. I have a pic- 'i ture I'm fond of where Willow is standing in a Around dance outfit, looking kind of shy and anxious. In talking Our Town with Peck, I found that Diane Barone is one of the teachers now. She taught Willow at St. Isabel's preschool for 2-year-olds. I took Willow to school and picked her up every day, because my schedule allowed it. I knew well the parking lot where parents arrived, and the playground where we often dawdled and watched our kids play together. So many of those children, and parents, moved on together to Sanibel Elmentary and then to Cypress Lake. And many didn't — going to different schools, moving off island. A girl and a boy that Willow went to school with at the center died, one of a sudden illness, one of a long bout with can- cer.
