Hi Paulo!

Thanks for the update on dona Tete! I've been living in Chicago for the last 30 years and when I think about home, CENEART comes to my mind. CENEART was Tete, Helena Pignatari, Maria Tereza (your mother, who was never my teacher, but I remember quite well her smiley face). If I'm not mistaken, I remember dona Tete commenting on that trip to Europe @1967/1968 . She went with my Geography teacher dona Cinyra (I believe they were best friends at that time).
By the time I came to study at CENEART, your father was not teaching there anymore . But I enjoyed reading his "A Lingua Nossa de Cada Dia" on the newspaper.
It was a nice relief to know that dona Tete is still around and happy!.
I wish we had those class reunions like we have here in the USA. So I could meet all those beloved teachers from CENEART at least one more time, and let them know what a big influence they were in those young souls!
And again, lucky you boy who had dona Tete and sr Emir in your life!
