Yachtsmen mark 5oth reunion
Former teacher, student collaborate on book
Peggy Muir, a retired teacher who taught at Freeport High School from 1984 to 2008, and her former student, Lauren Almarode, have created a children’s book. “Luca and the Bookstore Stand Off” is about a visit to a bookstore by Peggy and her 4-year-old grandson, who refused to leave, saying, “We haven’t read ALL the books!” Alamode, who did the computerized illustrations, was brought up in Freeport and is a member of the class of 2000. She is an art teacher and artist in Florida.
