Patrick it took me several re reads to "get it"
PS Don't tell my class, but thats how I grade too--skimming all the way thru coffee break!
A little family info regarding teachers; my dads Math teacher in Junior High (mid/late 40's) also had the privilege of teaching my oldest brother (mid/late 60's) and myself (early 70's).
Saved the meanest for last. However, at that time my dad was on the "School Board" and I did not get away with anything.....well, except for this one time that I know nothing about so you guys don't say anything.
College is "another story."
My English/Technical Writing instructor was a "Gunny" (Gunnery Sergent) that decided to go teach college English.
All of the new students were warned about Mr. Fuller, and told to avoid his class. Well, guess what? Yep, Mr. Fuller's class here I come. It was either go to his class or wait until the next semester.
That man was very strict; and he did not give you a break on anything. I will never forget him. After that 1st semester, I picked all of his classes that were related to my major.
I just wish I could remember everything he taught me.
Sorry for getting way off topic, Craig.
