20th Anniversary

   The Helen Gilmore Learning Center celebrated their 20th year in February, 2009. Originally located in West Palm Beach, the Center moved to Boynton Lakes Plaza and then to the present location – 510 West Lantana Road, Lantana. Dr. Gilmore often hears from parents about how well former students are now doing.

The Education Payoff

     As many of you know, Dr. Gilmore holds a private pilot’s license. Although she is not currently flying, she has several hundred hours in her aviation log book. The recent “Miracle on the Hudson” pilot, Chesley Sullenberger (Sulley), puts all of his prior education in perspective in this Internet quote: “For 42 years, I had made small, regular deposits of education, training and experience. And the experience balance was sufficient that on January 15th, I could make a sudden, large withdrawal.”
