Calling on the oldest and the wisest!
The NNETESOL Board is currently working on compiling a history of our organization. If you can help us fill in the blanks, we’d be most appreciative. We’re trying to figure out where we came from. We’ve been around more than 35 years. We’re wondering if it’s more… With the help of Google, former president Jeanette Ruffle and a little bit of current memory, we’ve pieced together a bit. But we’re sorely lacking. If you know these people, please send this on to them and ask if they’d help contribute.
Please check back for updates!

Diane Dugan was a founding member of NNETESOL along with Thomas Sousa and Lauryl Ellis in 1981. At that time, she was an ESL teacher in The Adult Education program for the city of Manchester, NH. Dr Thomas Sousa was her supervising teacher and a mentor.
