Old Classmates

(complements of Virgie Robb)

Everyone has been guilty of looking at another's age and
thinking, "Surely I cannot look that old." I'm sure you've
done the same. If so, 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 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?"
