Ms. Lucy Viri-Garcia

December 10, I received email from the best grade 2 teacher I ever had -- ok, ok, she was my one and only grade 2 teacher. She is now at Assumption College in Makati, methinks about to retire. She had seen the yahoogroup for Dole Phils School alumni that I moderate. It was almost 30 years ago that I last saw her. I seem to remember that my classmates almost barred her from leaving the teachers' cottage and miss her flight. That was how much we loved her. I have since emailed her twice. I thought I'd give her small doses instead of my usual long emails that are neither few nor far between. Basig ma-subrahan sa emotion. We've exchanged SMS as well. She was my best teacher. I loved Grade 2 because of her.
