I have been guilty of looking at others my own
age and thinking...surely I cannot look that old....
.....I'm sure you've done the same......You may
enjoy this short story....
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 1957."
"Why, you were in my class!" I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely and then asked,
"What did you teach?"
