I braved the blustery snow storm today to grab a sub from the Wizards. While in line a familiar face walked into line behind me. Naturally, the wizard knew this person much like he knows pretty much everbody in this town. “Well, if it isn’t the professor. How our you Dr. McCutcheon?”.
No wonder he looked familiar. A little bit older, but not that much. All you MathBussers would recognize this Laurier Bus 111 prof.
Wizard’s wife started joking with the kids in front of me that one day hopefully they would get a passing grad from the old prof. As I paid for my sub and started to leave I quipped: “that old prof passed me when I was in his class”.
Prof McCutcheon stared me up and down and said: “When were you in my class?”. Feeling long in the tooth I responded: ” Fall of 91 – Bus 111 “. Looking sentimental he replied “Ah yes. A recent grad are you?”.
Not feeling so old anymore I mentioned that I went on to get my Math / Bus degree and am working locally. He wished me well as I went on my way.
Now here’s hoping I catch up with ole Prof Furino some day. That man never forgot a face.
