While I was in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist, I noticed his diploma, which bore his full name, and suddenly I remembered a muscular and handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name that had been in my high school class some 30 years ago. Could he be the same popular guy that everyone liked way back then? Upon seeing him, however, I had serious doubts. This grey-haired, heavy set man with the deeply lined face was just way too old to have been my classmate. After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Lafayette High School in Brooklyn.
