Ramona Pike was a school librarian and continues to organize news and clues in her scrapbook which is incredibly organized. Fiona Mallory was a High School teacher and now she runs Fiona's Café a few doors down from Forget Me Not books. Maureen Eldridge was an elementary school teacher and now she's semi-retired with her unusual Maine Coon cat, Gatsby.
