News Of An Old Pupil
I was delighted to come across another blog site featuring the work of one of my former pupils, Larry Santana, or 'Larry Mike' as he was called when I taught him.
Larry was a third year student at the School of Art & Design in Goroka in 1979 and by far the most talented of his intake.
It would appear that he too is now treading the teaching path; at Tusbab High School in Madang.
By all accounts he has had a tough life in later years while living in Port Moresby - loss of his advertising agency job and then his house, living in the notorious shanty area of Six Mile Dump and scavenging for food scraps.
It saddens me that he and his family had these experiences but at last he seems to be experiencing a much happier existence now, in Madang.
At least he has never lost his smile!
