School and Its Caretaker Make a Good Match

Thanks for your story on Josef D’Heygers, the caretaker at Mater Dei High School (“Gentleman of the Old School,” Feb. 7). It sounds as if the whole school campus is, and has been, filled with lovely, caring, thoughtful people. Mr. D’Heygers was a fortunate man to find himself in such company. Likewise, the folks at Mater Dei are fortunate to have found him!
