MY NAME iS MARY, AND i WAS SiTTiNG iN THE WAiTiNG ROOM FOR MY FiRST APPOiNTMENT WiTH A NEW DENTiST. i NOTiCED HiS DDS DiPLOMA ON THE WALL WHiCH BORE HiS FULL NAME. SUDDENLY, i REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAiRED BOY WiTH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN iN MY HiGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 30-ODD YEARS AGO. COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT i HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN?

UPON SEEiNG HiM, HOWEVER, i QUiCKLY DiSCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT. THiS BALDiNG, GRAY-HAiRED MAN WiTH THE DEEPLY LiNED FACE WAS WAY TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE.

AFTER HE EXAMiNED MY TEETH, i ASKED HiM iF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK HiGH SCHOOL.“YES. YES, i DiD. i'M A MUSTANG,” HE GLEAMED WiTH PRiDE.

"WHEN DiD YOU GRADUATE?” i ASKED.

HE ANSWERED,“iN 1975. WHY DO YOU ASK?”

”YOU WERE iN MY CLASS!” i EXCLAiMED.
HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY. THEN, THAT UGLY, OLD, BALDiNG, WRiNKLED-FACED, FAT-ASSED, GRAY-HAiRED, DECREPiT, MiSERABLE, SOB ASKED... "WHAT DiD YOU TEACH?”
