Beautify Cuero meeting proves tremendous
Dear Ann Landers: t graduated
from high school 11 years ago
Three days before I graduated I hit a
teacher in the face with a banana
cream pie. If vou recall, “pieing”
was the rage in the mid ’70s I
thought at the time it would be very
funny. Well, it wasn’t The teacher
was furious. She didn’t know who I
was because J wore a ski mask and
ran out of the room as soon as I hit
my target
I am now a practicing attorney
and have grown up For several
years I’ve been ashamed of what I
did Two months ago I wrote a letter
to that teacher and apologized I ad-
mitted it was a mean and childish
thing to do and that I have felt rot-
ten about it for years 1 enclosed a
check for S25 to pay the cleaning bill
she must hase had.
The check was never cashed and 1
never received a response from the
teacher.
Did 1 make things worse by
dredging up an incident that may
have been very painful? Is there a
"correct” wav to apologize tor such
an act? — Wondering In New
Orleans
Dear Wondering: All of us have
done things in our vouth that we
aren’t proud ot
I think it was generous of you to
write "Pie face” and send a S25
check to boot In mv opinion, after
all these years, the teacher should
have acknowledged your letter, and
accepted your apology
After this column appears, mavbe
you’ll hear trom her It you do.
please let me know

Dear Ann l anders: I read your
column this morning in the Florence
Times, and realized I had a solution
for the lone diner.
for years my occupation carried
me to different cities and I frequent-
ly ate alone. I made it a point to say
to the person who did the seating,
“Table for one. please, in the non-
smoking area.” Sometimes I added,
"Near a window ”
This provides the person in charge
with all the information needed
without having to ask, "Just one ot
you1” — D C In Russellville. Ala.
