Warmly inscribed in second panel margin: "For Freya with / sincere best wishes - / Charles M. Schulz." Freya Hulmer was a longtime California schoolteacher who befriended Schulz when she began taking "her daughter to ice skating practice at Charles M. Schulz's Redwood Empire Ice Arena in Santa Rosa ... she graded homework and assignments and had occasional coffee and conversations with Schulz himself, with the late cartoonist picking her brain for insight into her young students" (The Press Democrat, Sunday, June 15, 2008). Published in the Complete Peanuts, Volume 3, 1955-56 (Fantagraphics, 2005).
