The following is the text of an article that appeared in the Gloucester Daily Times on July 4, 2005.
FORMER TEACHERS, FAMILY GATHER TO HONOR DORIS GOYETCHE
ESSEX -- As her former co-workers and family members gathered in a circle around the simple wooden bench placed on the front lawn of Essex Elementary School on Thursday, both tears and laughter flowed as each shared a memory of the late teacher Doris Goyetche.

"I want to say, if Doris were alive, she would be polyurethaning this right now," said Doris' sister, Norma Munroe, as she touched the bench. "And God help the boy who tries to put his initials on this."

Goyetche was a science teacher in Essex for 32 years before her retirement in 1990. She died at 74 after a battle with cancer last May and her friends and family members wanted to place a memorial to her years of service in the place she loved to teach.

"We wanted something here at the school we could see," said Connie Perrigo, one of the organizers of the dedication. "There's a plaque that's coming for the bench. It will say, 'In loving memory of Doris Goyetche, teacher extraordinaire, 1958 to 1990.'"
Dot Presutti, who came up with the idea for a memorial bench, helped raise money for dedication.

"I knew her from Gloucester High School, and that was back in the 1940s," said Presutti, a close friend of Goyetche's and the school librarian for more than 14 years. "I think she just meant the world to this school and to me, and I didn't want her memory to fade."

Presutti said her fondest memory of her late friend was when her own daughter told Goyetche what she wanted for her birthday, either a tennis racket or a 10-speed bike. "She (Goyetche) went home and found a tennis racket and gave it to her," Presutti said. "And then she told my daughter, 'Go home and tell your mother you want that bike.' That's just the way Doris did things."

Retired second-grade teacher Carolyn Cassidy said when she first began teaching at the school she was initially afraid of Goyetche, who stood 6-feet but always insisted she was 5-foot-9.

"She was kind of an imposing figure, and she was definitely a rule follower," she said. Cassidy said she actually had to swallow her gum -- after school -- because she was so afraid of what Goyetche might do to her if she found out she was chewing it. She loved sports too, said her nephew David Munroe, who learned to play basketball from his aunt.

"She had the fiercest elbows," he said, adding that the timing of the ceremony could not have been better because it followed the championship winning season of her beloved Red Sox. "I'll always remember her coming downstairs and saying, 'The Red Flops did it again,'" he said.

FEENEY NAMED SENIOR V-P CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS
A&E Television Networks (AETN) in New York recently announced the promotion of Michael Feeney, son of Valerie (Goyetche) Feeney, to Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications. Feeney will oversee the newly expanded AETN Corporate Communications Department.

Prior to his promotion, Feeney served as Vice President, Corporate Communications and Public Affairs, A&E Television Networks. In this role, he oversaw all corporate communication and program publicity for A&E Network and The Biography Channel.

Michael currently resides in Manhattan's Upper West Side with his wife Celine and daughter Isabella.

SOLDIERS' LIFE-SAVING ACTIONS COMMENDED
Two soldiers received the Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff Commendation in 2001 for actions they took to save the lives of two Eritrean civilians suffering from gunshot wounds.

Corporal Daphne Goyetche, a platoon medic, and Master Corporal (then Cpl) Michael Hawthorn, served with the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment Battle Group during Task Force East Africa (TFEA).

On February 13, 2001, a group of Eritrean civilians approached the remote platoon camp at Tsorena, an abandoned village in the midst of the Temporary Security Zone. Two of the group, a young boy of about fourteen and his father, had suffered severe gunshot wounds. Both had lost substantial blood and the wounds were infected.The boy was in danger of losing his life.

Cpl Goyetche recognized the urgency of the situation and began immediate treatment, calling for a medical evacuation using Canadian and Dutch assets. Cpl Hawthorn, using his previous training as a paramedic, assisted in the initial treatment and stabilization of the wounded.

Both soldiers remained with the injured as Cpl Goyetche directed the evacuation until the ambulance cross-over point where she assisted the Company Medical Officer, Captain Rob Hiemstra in the resuscitation of the boy. Capt Hiemstra said the soldiers' actions were instrumental in saving the boy's life and preventing further injury to the man.
