Thanks. Would you like to hear from a student even if 20 years had passed as in my case with the teacher Iīm thinking of sending a card? How many years had passed when you sent your professor a letter?
Did you see those teachers for several semesters and did you often chat with them like after class or similar?
I remember talking to this teacher now and then, after class, and I helped her arranging chairs and clean the whiteboard. In that respect I perhaps stuck out a little from the rest of the class, I donīt remember anyone else doing that.
I also remember this teacher told me she had lost her father and she cried about it and I gave her a hug. But afterwards I thought it was a bit embarrassing but perhaps she didnīt think that way. I mean for her to get emotional and to tell me such a private thing about her father passing.
Itīs hard to know if sending a card will be seen as suitable or not. Me personally had just found it fun as long as I didnīt dislike ther person who wrote of course.
It can be a slippery slope to kind of ask for a reply but at the same time I donīt want to just sign with my name and nothing more.

I also sent a letter to another teacher and she was happy, too.
I would check social media and the phone book, also. I think that's where I found the addresses.  |
