Hi, Ms. A,

Thanks for posting. It’s great to hear from someone who was with me pretty much from the beginning. I appreciate the loyalty and the support.

As for knowing about boarding schools, I didn’t. I needed a place where all the kids lived together so I wouldn’t have to be bothered with parents, kid sisters, pet cats, etc. And I made up what I thought a boarding school would be like, factored in what I remembered from “The Great Brain” series, and Macdonald Hall was born. That’s it!

                           Thanks again. Happy holidays to you and the class that comes in promptly after lunch.
