Footnote: I have always been interested in what LNSF may be like, and visited it briefly with Myrna, one day in Feb. 2016. While there - essentially to add an information page on LNSF in my Lubang Island Web Site - we were greatly helped by the Faculty President, Mimi Gatuz, The teacher in Charge, Wilma Tobillo, and the OIC Principal Geraldine Tarcena, in acquiring information on LNSF. Without the School Site Plan from the Improvement Plan for (2009 - 2011) I would have been completely lost in labelling the images of the buildings. So many thanks to the personnel named above, and I hope that the general public can now get a better idea of LNSF - David and Myrna Hyde.
