So this guy turns 80 years old in Minnesota , not such a surprise. He gets a birthday card, still not such a shock. But wait…it was from his third grade teacher! Now I got your attention!

Hobart Anderson was in Colette Hartung’s classroom seventy years ago and when she saw a little item in the paper about his upcoming celebration she thought she would surprise him. I generally don’t recommend surprising octogenarians but I guess ninety –something year old school teachers can get away with anything.
