Thank You, Mr. Farrer

Bruce Farrer has been a high school teacher for decades. He gives every student an assignment to write a ten-page letter to the person they will be twenty years from now. It’s not an uncommon assignment, but Farrer goes the extra mile by keeping those letters for twenty years, and then he sends them! What a gift it is to receive ten pages that show what you were like twenty years ago. This profile of Farrer’s ongoing project not only illustrates his dedication, but is also a commentary on the lost art of letter-writing. (via Viral Viral Videos)
