DEAR MR. HULSE,

I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE AFTER YOU HAVE LEFT OUR SCHOOL? I WAS THEN AN 11 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO BECAME YOUR PUPIL WHEN YOU BECAME OUR ENGLISH TEACHER FOR THREE YEARS. YOU ALSO BECAME MY CHAPERONE WHEN I WON IN A DECLAMATION CONTEST AND WON FIRST PRIZE.. A MOVIE. THE SOUND OF MUSIC. YOU ALSO WROTE MY SALUTATORY SPEECH ON MY GRADUATION FROM ELEMENTARY. YES, IT HAS BEEN DECADES NOW. I HOPE AND PRAY I WILL HAVE AN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION OF MINE. THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE.

WITH MUCH RESPECT,
MARIA IRENE BASILIO-JACOB
YOUR FORMER PUPIL( GRADE 4-6, AYALA CENTRAL SCHOOL, ZAMBOANGA CITY, PHILIPPINES
