I often wonder if my kids will ever have their own homes but the outlook is bleak. When we contemplate the idea of moving, my heartstrings are tugged on by the fact that it’s the only home my grandchildren have know as PapaLorne & Grandmas. It’s least best thing I offer them other than my love, so many other things have changed.

Isn’t it funny what lies hidden in the corners of the Internet? <br /><br />I was a student of both the teachers you write about, Mrs. Dulcetta and Mr. Mould. Mrs. Dulcetta was my French and Latin teacher at Central and, quite simply, she changed my life. I know she wasn’t always an extraordinarily popular teacher, but she took a special interest in me and my studies, and she helped open my eyes about a world that existed outside the Peace Country. She was one of the first — and certainly one of the most important — influences on my life. <br /><br />Thanks for remembering her, too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619892469584559115.post-2171753428507413242022-07-04T19:19:21.951-06:002022-07-04T19:19:21.951-06:00Absolutely.
