Bill Rigley
Bill retired from School District 16 in June 2000, and joined MARTA right away. Between 2001 - 2003, he served as MARTA's Vice president. He was elected to the office of President in 2003 and served the retired teachers of the Miramichi in that capacity until 2007. Bill's wild sense of cynical humor goes a long way to livening up MARTA gatherings and causes even the most dour to smile loudly.
Bill has served MARTA on the executive as Past President for the past two years, and has recently "traded hats" to become Editor of the MARTA Newsletter.

Muriel MacCullam
secretary@marta-group.com
Muriel joined MARTA after she completed her 33.5 year teaching career in June of 2010. She began and ended teaching at Millerton School but in between the first 4 and the last 11 years, she taught at Burnt Church, Manila the Philippines, Big Cove, Edmundston and Harcourt. For 19 years, she was a teaching administrator, actually teaching in all grades from Kindergarten to grade 12 and a wide variety of subject areas.
She and her husband, Ivan Vautour, enjoy their antique vehicle and the chance to get together with other antiquers. They also enjoy volunteering at the Miramichi Senior's Home. They have a very spoiled but sweet dog, Buster, who loves to travel with them.
Muriel has been known to spend hours scrapbooking or fiddling about doing minor bodywork jobs on their vehicles. She also loves to sit on the deck with her book, reading and watching the birds, squirrels and groundhog family.
