1 The 30 year old photo
Lorly Schik is a 90-year-old former teacher, who began her teaching career back in the 1940s. The teacher made a difference in hundreds of children’s life, teaching them not only the subjects, but also manners and a good way of living. Being a teacher, she remembered most of her students, despite her age and one day she was watching the news on the local channel and saw the TV news anchor had a very familiar face. She immediately dug into her stuff and came out with a 30 year old photo and searched for the face and the name in the photo and eventually found out that the news anchor was one of her former students Cory Hepola. Mrs. Schik had taught Hepola in kindergarten and had retired once that class moved into first grade to be with her grandchildren and children. Seeing that her pupil had become such a successful man, Mrs. Schik wrote a note to Hepola’s parents. “When I first saw him, I couldn’t hardly believe it,” said Mrs. Schik, filled with pride at the sight of her student doing big things. “I can still picture him as a small dark-haired child in his K-desk!”
