"Whenever he was in the area, he would come and see me. He showed up in a stretch-limo one time. He pulled up on my little street in Evergreen. He and his posse, they pile out of the car and they come and knock on my door. He wanted to have lunch, so I made them all grilled cheese sandwiches. We sat around my kitchen and talked. He would come into the school. The minute he'd look at me, the whole expression on his face would change. He'd go from this furrowed brow, narrow eyes to this big wide smile. Within a few minutes of sitting in the office and talking, he was back to being the Tupac that I knew as a teenager. We had a good relationship."
