Thanks. If I send her a card I would write that I found her classes fun and interesting and that I sometimes stayed after class to help her arrange chairs and clean the whiteboard for her. I would also tell her that we sometimes chatted a little after class and that I appreciated that.
I would of course also tell her that I recognised her at the café and that I found it fun to meet with her. I would also tell her in what course I had her and what study program I went to.
It´s not that I have very big reasons to write to her, I would just find it rewarding to show her I remembered her after such a long time and perhaps she´ll find it fun to write back to me.
I don´t know if she´ll find it odd or more of a fun thing. White pages are available to all and as she´s the only one with her name in this area she´s easy to find.

I was totally thrilled to hear from him. I also knew his parents really well. It was very interesting to me to hear all that. He didn’t look me up, he contacted school I taught snd he attended back home and asked if anyone kept in touch. I got married and changed my last name since etc
If you have something to say to her and had a special connection I guess there is no crime to write her a note.
Have you thought about her do you have a special something to share with her? I have a college professor who I often think about. She was an excellent professor and my thesis advisor, when I’ve moved to the US she also moved but to the opposite side of the world. We said our good byes and haven’t spoken since. I’d not mind finding out how things are where she is at etc Me and her have some funny stories between us. My daughter was little and I would bring her to uni when I had to meet with my advisor. I am sure she remembers me
What I am trying to say was there something specific you want to tell her or what would write to her? What would she write to you? Is there something you two have in common? Is there something to discuss? What’s the importance of connecting to this particular teacher?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
