In Cornella VerHalen's American life, the end is just another beginning. VerHalen celebrated her 90th birthday in a classroom at the Tri-Community Adult Education/Pioneer Center in Covina. The longtime Covina resident has taught English as a Second Language and sewing at Covina Valley Unified School District for more than 50 years. Before she retires at the end of this semester, fellow educators and students are honoring her work enriching the lives of newly-arrived immigrants. 'I've had a very interesting life and met so many interesting people.
