Teacher Update!

Dear Class of 1999,

First of all I have to say (and a teacher should never say this) that you were one of my very, very, very favorite classes in my 35- year-career at Conant. What an amazing class you were!!!!! Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your life. A teacher is the one who should inspire. In this case it was the opposite. You all inspired me so much.I was thrilled to get your invitation to the reunion and would have seriously considered attending it had it not been for the fact I will be travelling the Greek Isles with I'm sure one of your very favorite teachers, Susan Craft. So I do regret so much not to be able to see you and catch up. You don't know how much I appreciated the invitation to attend the reunion. Thanks so much.I moved to Portland, OR in 2002 when I retired. I love it here. I live in the downtown area and am totally tied up in the cultural scene and never have to use my car. I also teach English to political refugees from all over the world two hours a day four days a week when I want to. The job is completely flexible so I can take off and travel whenever I want. I love it. Please email or visit me out here like Justin G. did. Justin, it was great fun seeing you. Thanks so much I hope you have a wonderful reunion and even though I will be in Greece I will be thinking of you. I cannot believe it's been ten years already!

All my best, Sr. Premo
