From Fox10TV: “Buffett wishes teacher happy birthday”
A local Catholic Sister is about to celebrate her 102nd birthday. So far she’s received gifts from all around the world, including a special medallion from the President of Ireland. Also, the Sister left quite an impression on a past student who sent something that’s also brightening her day.
It’s a card sent from someone special that holds deep meaning. Sister Aidan Donaldson, RSM, with the Sisters of Mercy is so happy. She said receiving a hand written note from Jimmy Buffett made her day.
“I was really surprised. I had not seen him since he left the 8th grade,” Sister Aidan said.
Sister Aidan was Buffett’s eighth grade teacher at St. Ignatius. Sister Aidan is also one of the singer’s oldest fans. A group of past students even brought a special shirt imprinted with her picture, also one of young Buffett.
“That’s him as an altar boy, I can tell by the surplus he was wearing,” Sister Aidan added.
Sister Aidan recalls Buffett as a child and said she is so proud to see him now as a world class entertainer.

Maybe we should all follow Jimmy’s lead and write a note to a former teacher, birthday or not. I think I can speak for all teachers and say that we love to hear from our former students.

From an altar boy of the same era as Jimmy, it is a surplice. I’m sure Sister would tell you that.
