My teach was Mrs Hope. Bustin - middle row on the right.
In approximately I received this letter from her -- a letter
which I wish to share as it has such scope and reflects her
passion as a teacher.
The occasion in which she has written in approx. 2000, was after
Melodie and I appeared in a documentary addressing the nature
of twins and titled "The Twin Thing....the show was a CBC one-hour uninterrupted film on the series "Man Alive".
Mrs. Bustin wrote:
Her letter reads:
"I called the "Twin Thing" a beautiful love story.....the program
was just so lovely. I wish I could see it again. I often planned
to write you and kept putting it off -- your Mother gave me one of your crafts some time ago and I love it, It is hanging on my wall
in my bedroom and Melodie gave me one of her paintings (a
sunflower). I love it too.
You were so beautiful on TV. It was wonderful hearing you and you spoke so well. My writing is not
at its best but now I'm that much older.
I write too fast. I hope you can cifir it. I think of you often.
My love xxoo
Hope Bustin
