SL sttenw Ad Brought Results Dear Editor: Thanks so much for printing the want ad in search of my former, gtade 4 teacher. A Ter- race Bay resident con- tacted her and she got in touch with me, right away shortly after the ad was printed. I have since sent her a photograph of myself, my husband and son, as well as a seven page letter. I have since heard from her. She was both surpris- ed and flattered to hear from me.
