                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Helena Lucas Santos Collection contains documents and photographs pertaining to the life and career of Helena Santos, EdD, a Portuguese American educator in Massachusetts. Most of the items focus on her time as a teacher and educator at Hudson Public Schools, where she worked within the ESL and Bilingual Education programs. Also included are various images and writings from bilingual students who attended Hudson Public Schools from 1977-1986.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her doctoral dissertation was titled &lt;a href="https://www.proquest.com/docview/305382111?pq-origsite=gscholar&amp;amp;fromopenview=true"&gt;"The Socialization Experience of Cape Verdean, Latina and Portuguese Women Faculty at Four-Year Institutions in Southern New Enland"&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Biographical Sketch&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
Helena Lucas Santos (b. 1954) is a Portuguese American educator and scholar from Ludlow, Massachusetts. She holds a Doctorate in Higher Education Administration (UMass Boston), a Master’s in Education in Bilingual/Cross-cultural Counseling (Boston University), and a Bachelor's Degree in Portuguese (UMass Amherst). She taught at Hudson Public Schools for 9 years as a teacher and counselor within the English as a Second Language and Transitional Bilingual Education programs. She also served as the Title VII Lau Coordinator from 1982-1986. In 1986, she moved to Bridgewater State University where she worked in the Academic Achievement Center and in 2006 to Lasell University where she served as Assistant Vice President and Dean of Academic Success for the rest of her career. While teaching in Hudson, Helena met David Fox, also from Hudson, and they married in 1984. They have one son, Daniel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Helena was born to Alzira Lucas Santos (1922-2015) and Antonio do Rosario Santos (1920-2019). Alzira was born as the third child to Germano and Gloria Lucas, Portuguese immigrants living in Ludlow, MA. Germano and Gloria decided to move back to Evora de Alcobaça, Portugal to raise their children but, shortly after returning, the two older children passed away. Alzira became the oldest of seven children that followed. It was here that Alzira eventually met her husband, Antonio do Rosario Santos, and they married in 1946.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because she was born in the United States, Alzira held American citizenship. Therefore, she came back to the United States in 1952 and her husband and their daughter, Maria, followed soon after. They settled in Ludlow, MA, where Alzira was born. The Santos’ went on to have two more children: Helena and Jose, and two grandchildren: Daniel Santos Fox and Isabel Corkey Santos. Alzira worked as a seamstress in the local manufacturing companies such as Cromwell Mills, Carter’s Clothing, and Spaulding Sports Corporation. Antonio worked for various companies such as Chapman Valve, Westinghouse, and Moore Drop Forging Co./Danaher Tools.</text>

                <text>Alzira sent this letter to Antonio advising him on the immigration process to get into the United States. Since Alzira was born in the United States (before moving back to Portugal), she traveled to Portugal alone to start the immigration process, with plans to bring her husband and daughter to the States next.&#13;

Translation: &#13;
Ludlow, Mass. August 15, 1952&#13;
My Dear Antonio:&#13;
I hope you are enjoying perfect health, as well as our girl, and the family, I am happily in perfect health;&#13;
I will send you the age certificates, they are no longer accurate here, and they may be useful there to deal with your documents, which of course you should be notified there by the American Consul in a short time, and in case you are not called by him, go to the consulate, I will also send you a letter that I received here from the Immigration advising me that the petition to be sent there must be passed to the visa, it was approved here, and sent there to the American consul, so that he can deal with the matter there, so you wait some time, and in the event that you do not receive any news from him, you should take care to find out what is going on there, and you can even take these papers with you, which I sent you, so that they know that everything is approved here.&#13;
With this I have nothing more to say to you, give my regards a lot to our whole family, and many kisses to our girl, and receive a hearty hug from your wife who wishes you a thousand happiness.&#13;
