In her mature years, she began to deeply appreciate and recognize the value of that aspect of her life after migrating to the United States, where for many years she was separated from relatives.
She is an author, retired educator and administrator, whose teaching career spanned grades from Kindergarten to College. One highlight of her experiences relates to the numerous rich and memorable moments she spent with children in the elementary grades. As a result, she always had a fervent desire to write a book dedicated to children and the grandparents who influenced them in many ways.
Dr. Aldridge hopes that the book will serve as a catalyst for much sharing and reunions among children, relatives, and friends. She is happy and proud that she has finally fulfilled her long held desire to use this book as the medium for celebrating the innate genius of the children of the world.visualizza meno
