So long, farewell, I'll miss you, USM!

Many thanks to all of my brilliant and wonderful students at Santa Maria. I will be going back to the United States in August, but I hope I can return someday to teach again in Valparaiso. I love Chile and have thoroughly enjoyed teaching English at USM. Please feel free to keep in touch and to contact me if you ever need anything.

Best wishes to all of you for a very happy future.
