Long lost friends, family members are reconnecting during the pandemic; here s why
Ronni Diamondstein reconnected with a favorite teacher after 50 years; Rockland high school best friends spoke for the first time since 1976.
Rockland/Westchester Journal News
For more than 50 years, Ronni Diamondstein had preserved a folded piece of yellowing paper with a handwritten recipe for chocolate cake.
From time to time, she’d used the well-worn recipe, written in green ink and blotted in parts from years of use. Every time she baked the cake, she’d fondly remember its author: Mrs. Ellen LeClair, her French teacher at Commack High School North on Long Island.

OWLS HEAD Raymond (Ray) L. Wallace, 78, passed peacefully into his Heavenly Home, Friday, December 18, 2020, after an extended battle with Alzheimer’s disease, at Windward Gardens in Camden.
Born in Rockland, December 18, 1942, he was the only child of Leland and Emma Maloney Wallace. Ray began school in a one room schoolhouse in Montville Maine and later graduated from Rockland High School, class of 1961.
On May 25, 1963, Ray married Alice Cole. Together they raised four children and were proud to watch their family grow to include their children’s spouses and seven grandchildren.
