Adam stared at the file in his hands. The section for the sponsor’s name was blank..
“Who funded Celine’s education?” he asked.
Leo shook his head. “Mr. Alvarez, we haven’t been able to identity the sponsor yer”

In the photo, she stood in front of the school’s display window, wearing a simple white dress. Her radiant smile lit up her delicare face as she gazed at
the camera.

Inside the display window was the school’s Hall of Fame, where his name and photo had long held the top spot as a legendary graduate.
