Hugo Salazar

Hello and good afternoon! I´m a former student of Mr. Salazar at Grand Valley State, and I thought of him today out of the blue, so I googled his name. I of course found that he had passed several years ago which was pretty disappointing. I´m in my late 60´s now, but I appreciated Sr Salazar so much as a teacher. After Grand Valley, I went on to become a fluent Spanish speaker through Peace Corps and many years of doing social work in the US with Latin clients, but he definitely gave me...

At Alma College in the mid 1950s, Hugo and I were the only two Spanish majors. We shared our professor of Spanish, Dr Grace Nichols. During one of our conversations she told me that Hugo was a "wonderful" student. I dropped in to visit him a couple of times at Grand Valley and enjoyed renewing our acquaintance. I graduated fromAlma the year after Hugo.
