My first violin teacher, Lisa Malcolm, has always held a special place in my heart. Between Matthew and I, one or other of us was taking lessons from her for about twelve years, so she has known us as we've grown up alongside her own girls. This year she invited many of her old students to return for a chili supper, Christmas music, visiting and playing at a nursing home together. There were only a few there who we knew (and many of Mrs. Malcolm's "old" students who came and left after we did - that makes me feel old), but by far the most exciting to see was Hana. We had a wonderful time chatting, reliving old jokes and favorite memories as well as catching up on our current lives.
