Hi, I went to school with you at Thornlea, we were in some of the same classes. I am a private music teacher and I just had a student who told me he is doing a project on your book Snoop. I told him I went to high school with you and the look on his face was priceless. He was so impressed! Just had to see if there was a way to reach out because it’s funny, I am now more impressive to him, lol, , as I get older, memories from days gone by are somehow more important! It’s great to hear that you are still making kids happy with your books!👍🏻

Hi, Michelle,

Thanks for reaching out. It's a few years since Thornlea, isn't it! Funny how high school really sticks with you. I'm still in touch with Igor, my best friend from back in the day -- did you know him too? We live a continent apart, but we're still close, watching our kids go to college and beyond. Sigh! Where did it all go?

Say hi to your student for me. I hope he enjoyed SNOOP!

Kindest regards, -----Gordon Korman-----

Ah, I remember Igor although I never spoke with him very much. Nice that you kept in touch! I ended up moving to Vancouver after grade 11. One thing I tell my students about, when they start talking about technology, is how Thornlea had a computer room that actually, more or less, took up a whole room , and it was the only school in the area with one, I dont think they believe me about that. LOL Anyway, it was a great High School !

It WAS a great high school. I wonder if Mr.Cluley ever realized we were calling him Mr. Clueless.He was such a nice Principal!
