    Dear Readers,
    We hope you enjoy our latest HixNews issue. As you read Wendy Elkis Girnis' article about Military Nurses,  you will notice she did not include Vietnam nurses or those who served in Iraq or Afghanistan. We hope our readers can supply first-hand accounts of those military heroes. If you were a military nurse or wounded or served in Iraq or Afghanistan, please send us some memories for our November issue. We will publish after Veterans' Day but we would still like to include those memories. Article contributions, suggestions, and news are always welcome. We would love to hear from you, too! Don't hesitate to get in touch with us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

I attended Brandeis University after high school and earned a BA degree. I then attended the Harvard Graduate School of Education where I earned a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT). Degree. I wanted to pursue a career in teaching and found a job as a Junior High School Music Teacher after receiving my MAT.

That didn't last long as I had this passion for singing so left teaching and was involved with classical music for 20 years. Around the same time, in 1969, I married Bernard Basescu. Originally, Bernard and I met in NYC. We had two children and have one grandchild.

We separated back in 1988 and later divorced.

I returned to education only this time as an administrator. I was director of admissions at an independent NYC day school for 22 years.

When I attended our 50 Year reunion in September, I was semi-retired working as a consultant for a non-profit organization. I'm delighted at being a grandma.

Current Hobbies...Flutist...beginning Cellist ...theater, dance and concert goer...Yankee Fan...NYC Fan...though I do love to get away, too!

Finally, if I had to do it all over again, I would trust my own judgment more and would take more risks. But, if it took the life I lived to bring me to this place, then I accept it fully!
