I just learned that a professor I liked has passed away: https://www.telegram.com/obituaries/pneo0225834?fbclid=IwAR3yfAQkqqf7ZB6mFBkCtRW4hAUsWh3b6YUBhy22aszLvrC4jJCjSuC6wuc

It was a bit of a complicated relationship I had with him as I very much enjoyed his “history of science” class, but did not pass.
The class required 7 books, and at the time I could only afford the first 3.
So, I did poorly in the tests and failed the class.

He called me to this office after the semester was over and asked how someone who seemed so interested in class could do so poorly.
I explained about being able to afford less than half the books.

“Why didn’t you ask me? I’d have loaned them to you,” he asked.
“I had no idea that would be true,” I replied. “I thought it more likely I’d be told that it was too bad for me. The library doesn’t have them and no one else I know is taking the class.”
“I wish you had asked.”
“I wish you had told the class help was available.”

Despite not passing, I had still enjoyed his class and still thought of him as one of my favorite professors.
I am sad to see he passed.

I know, I'm breaking my word and telling people when I said I never would.
But, it was 1978, and that's a good long time ago. No one who was in my class now reads this...

I still hate square dancing or anything even like it...

It's been 50 years and I wonder about this one still.
I honestly don't see any way I could have hit her toe with that rock I dropped unless she was coming towards my back after I turned away.
But, I didn't have the witness, so who knows?

Since my father's father played professional baseball, this is not a good showing for the family...

It's been half a century and I remember the taste of it. I still don't like anything that even reminds me of that taste...

They considered it cheating to see the pattern and use it.
Never been sure why...

I had a lot of trouble communicating with people when I was young...

I've decided to do some comics of when I was younger than college and my first job as I have been doing.
As those were done with art from 900 years ago, I went with older art for when I was younger.
