My family with all ten grandchildren in the back yard of my youngest daughter's home. She still lives in Beach Park near our old house. My son (right) is a NASA engineer; my youngest daughter (left, back row) is a bank executive who makes twice as much as I did as a college professor; my older daughter (to the right of her father) is the mother of six of my grandchildren. I don't know how we managed to raise our children without their going to the federal penitentiary in South Tampa. Beach Park is a neighborhood of spoiled kids with too much money and too much sense of entitlement. Getting one's children through that milieu to maturity is a hassle. If I had known what we were in for, I would have found us a house in Lutz or somewhere in the hoosier locales when we moved from NY to Tampa.From: Anonymous [noreply-comment@blogger.com]

It is nice to know that Mark Hart is doing better. It is terrible that the district seems to be willing to destroy people's careers and livelihood.

Ms. Faliero:
I don’t imagine you have kept up with the wreck that you made of Marc Hart’s family’s life. I don’t expect a person of your caliber much cares about the debris you leave behind you in your search for diversion.
I don’t suppose you protested to the administration the unfairness of firing Hart while you went free as a bird and became the board chair after making the mess you caused.
I saw Mr. Hart at the Tiger Bay candidate review on the 15th. He had come to see me at the beach and told me about the destruction of his family and the suffering of his children as a result of your activities in ROSSAC for such a long time right under the administration’s nose. The administration only kicked Hart out of his job when they thought the affair you lured him into might get out to the public. lee
Mr. Hart told me that he was doing what I advised him to do: forget you and get on with his life.
I wonder how you are able to live with yourself after you destroyed a family with two young children who suffered greatly from their parents’ divorce you had catalyzed. One supposes people like you don’t feel any pangs of guilt from the suffering you cause. That’s hard to believe, but I think it’s true.
What amazes is the do-gooder image all the frantic community efforts you engage in according to you online biography copied below. This suggests a manic cover-up of what you really do behind this façade. I think we should be suspicious of people with this clogged kind of community-activities record.
Meanwhile, despite your background, your stance on the board is that of an arch conservative in sexual matters. You oppose sex education. You tried to rally the community bigots to make school s notify parents of gay students that they belonged to gay clubs so that parents would punish their gay children. Often such parents kick their children out of the house. Thank goodness, the students gay and straight rallied to defeat that evil effort on your part.
Your having me kicked out of a board meeting shows you don’t know a thing about the Constitution that your oath of office promises you would respect. In fact, board-lawyer Gonzalez had to give you a Romper Room lecture on the First Amendment. You didn’t know that it guaranteed that a citizen can speak to an elected official in stern terms if that citizen believes that elected official is doing wrong, and I certainly believe that you are.
But you are not the only board member who deserves rebuke in your case. The rest of the board knew your background and voted you chair of the board. That shows they disrespect their office and don’t care about the citizens and their children that they pledged to look out for when they ran for a place on the board. I bet if parents knew of the situation behind your board appointment to chair, its members would raise hell with the complicit board members.
In reviewing your community associations, I am concerned with your contact with the Ophelia Society. Those are impressionable young girls. They should not be exposed to contact with a woman like you whose morals are so at variance with the ones they should acquire to succeed in legitimate society as accomplished, educated women, not as a femme fatales does of your ilk.
