Teacher for life: Retired educator's lessons didn't stop at end of school day

Pat Kavanaugh was a dedicated classroom teacher, but her lessons weren’t only in a big room with a chalkboard and rows of student desks.

The retired Central Elementary School educator who died last Thursday also — without realizing it — taught in many other ways.

When Patricia A. Kavanaugh wanted to recognize someone for a special accomplishment or just for being her friend or former pupil, she got out her tools and made them a music box with a melody from yesteryear.

Inlaid Wood Italian Music Boxes

A music box is a reward unfailing someone to show how special he or she is ours. We just forward this not only as a handout, but a reminder that it is always extraordinarily recalled if there is a rift between you two, or all the earth a genius of admiration of how grateful we are that our livelihood is affected by pure association of this important reality of our lives.

Since Christmas is almost approach, I have the clock on the ability of m and ideas for my friends.I chose the inlaid music boxes as gifts not only because they look divine, but they are treasures that can be stored indefinitely. They can also be a legacy that can be transmitted from one period to another....
