Hi Carolyn,
Many thanks for the great laugh! It hit a bit too close to home. I
forwarded your story to the listserv for my school staff today. Staff
members have been commenting on it all day.

While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room of a new
dentist, I noticed his certificate, which bore his full name.
Suddenly, I remembered that a tall, handsome boy with the same name
had been in my high school class some 40 years ago. Upon seeing him,
however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired
man with the deeply lined face was too old to have been my classmate.
After he had examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended the
local high school.
"Yes," he replied
"When did you graduate?" I asked.
He answered, "In 1944."
"Why, you were in my class!" I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely and then asked, "What did you teach?"
