After graduating from BHS, Gail attended Douglass College
and graduated with a BA in English & Spanish. She practice
taught at Teaneck H.S. and her first teaching job was at
Riverdell Jr. High. After 2 years she returned to Rutgers to
ger her masters in Spanish. While studying for her masters,
she met and married Barry Wittman, a graduate math student
at Rutgers. Gail had taken a job in "student life" which
allowed her, and then both Gail & Barry, to live on campus.
They enjoyed campus living so much that, Gail took a
full-time job in student life (or "Deaning", as it is
sometimes called), and never looked back. They lived on and
raised their family on a woman's campus virtually all of
their lives and loved the collegiate atmosphere and the many
offerings of a large university. Gail retired in 2002, as
Dean of Commuting Students, and at this writing, she and
Barry have moved to a nearby apartment while they figure out
what to do next with their lives.
Gail's interests and hobbies are reading mysteries, English
history, travel, and ethnic cooking. Two of her most
unforgettable moments are of a 1992 trip from Venice to
London on the Orient Express and in 1988 when they were able
to attend the Wimbledon Finals in England.
Last summer she visited her childhood friend, Jodi Picciano,
in California. They hadn't seen each other in 44 years and
really enjoyed reminiscing. Jodi reminded Gail of an
incident that happened when Gail was a Senior and Jodi a
Junior. Gail had last period study hall, and as a Senior,
could skip it and leave at 2:30 PM. Jodi had typing last
period, but on this day they knew Miss Dix was absent, and
figured that a substitute wouldn't even miss Jodi. Gail
urged Jodi to go shopping with her in Hackensack, which she
finally did, with great trepidation. Unfortunately, the
typing class substitute that day was MR. POLLISON, who
noticed Jodi's absence immediately. He confronted her the
next morning and gave her a week's detention!! It's a
miracle they're still friends. Ha Ha!!
While she has enjoyed many special achievements in her
professional life, what's most precious to Gail, was
marrying a great guy and raising two wonderful kids. She
says "my husband insists I mention that in addition to
several awards, I also have had a conference room in the
Douglass College Center named after me." Pretty impressive
