SIDNEY Sister Ginny Scherer seems a little embarrassed about all the hoopla. Her focus has always been her students rather than herself, but her retirement after 58 years in the classroom is certainly something to celebrate.
“I’m not sure where the years have gone,” said Scherer. “I don’t feel my age because the Lord has blessed me with good health.” The long-time head of the Science Department at Lehman Catholic High School does not seem like an octogenarian either. When one is teaching advanced level Chemistry and Physics classes, one has to stay on one’s toes.

She walked further to see her words and her name inscribed on a wall in answer to the question: “We were saving lives. It was our job to be there.”
