Now I know why I'm leery about seeing old classmates....<br /> <br />Have you been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, "Surely, I can't look that old?"<br /><br />I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his DDS diploma, which bore his full name.<br /><br />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.<br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Lawton Senior High School.<br /> <br />"Yes. Yes, I did. I'm a Wolverine." he gleamed with pride.<br /> <br />"When did you graduate?" I asked.<br /> <br />He answered, "In 1961. Why do you ask?"<br /><br />"You were in my class!" I exclaimed.<br /><br />He looked at me closely.<br /><br />Then, that ugly, old, wrinkled son-of-a-***** asked, <br /> <br />"What did you teach?"
