<\/a>Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, “Surely I can’t look that old?” Well . . …. You’ll love this one!<\/p>\nI was at a meet and greet for new church members when I noticed a man with a name badge, which bore his full name.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 40-odd years ago. Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?<\/p>\n
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. Hmmm … Or could he?<\/p>\n
After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School.<\/p>\n
“Yes. Yes, I did. I’m a Mustang,” he gleamed with pride.<\/p>\n
“When did you graduate?” I asked.<\/p>\n
He answered, “In 1959. Why do you ask?”<\/p>\n
“You were in my class!” I exclaimed. He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old, wrinkled SOB asked, “What did you teach?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
