CARTA DEL MAESTRO Bernabé de Pedro Martínez A LA XIX RIDEF
Je vous félicite
pour l’initiative que vous avez prise et je forme des vœux pour l`heureuse issue
de cette réunion, et en même temps je vous remercie de fond du cœur pour l’intérêt
que vous montrez à l’égard de ma personne et du travail réalisé en suivant Freinet.
Un cordial
salut
En août 2010, à l’âge de 103 ans, j’ai reçu un émouvant hommage à Cabrejas del Pinar où j’ai exercé comme
maître d’école de 1931 à 1954. J’ai pu pendant toutes ces années appliquer la
technique de Célestin Freinet avec des résultats qui furent recueillis dans un
livre qui réunit les travaux de mes élèves, et qu’en vue de cet hommage ils firent
éditer pour que leurs enfants, arrière-petits-enfants et tout le village, puissent en profiter.
C’est leur histoire et elle leur appartient.
Je garde l’original
par devers moi, c’est mon souvenir de ces années-là, de ces enfants-là, de
l’imprimerie, oui, mais aussi celui des concerts de guitare, du cinéma, de la
bibliothèque, de la nature…
Aujourd’hui
encore, à 105 ans bien sonnés, je le
relis et je regarde à nouveau les
dessins, mes yeux s’embuent, et ce n’est pas à cause de l’âge, c’est dû à l’émotion,
et je les ferme, et je suis là-bas, et ne suis pas endormi…
I am not
able to be present at this
international meeting about FREINET, due to my
bad health, I am there through these lines
and in some
photography, to feel that way "almost" as a congressman
more.
I congratulate you by the initiative that you have had and I wish the
successful outcome of this meeting, while I deeply appreciate the interest shown by you on me
and in the work done according to Freinet.
Regards
Bernabé de Pedro Martinez

In August 2010,
at the age of 103 years, I received
an emotional
tribute in Cabrejas del Pinar, where I served as a teacher
from 1931 to 1954. During those years I could apply
Celestin Freinet technique with results that were
captured in a book containing the work of my
students. In this tribute they edited it this for their children,
grandchildren, great grandchildren and all people, so they could enjoy it. It is their story and they own it.
I keep the original with me, it is my memory of those years,
those children, the press, yes, but also of the rondalla, cinema, library, Nature ... Even today, over the 105, I read and admire again the pictures, my eyes
cloud, and it is not for the age, it is emotion, and I close them, and
I'm there, and I'm not asleep.
