You queried remembrances of teachers past.
Indelibly printed on the shrinking number of brain cells not yet quite
dead...the one...the only...Evo Baglini!
"I' nahnteen thoorty-nahn, I wawth awfr'd duh rank of capten
in de Italian Ahmy becauwth I wawth fluen en Engliss and
Italian.
"O' courth, I refoothed and joined arh miltary."
Bethides, I wawthn't no Fathist!"
The following, I heard while standing outside the teachers lounge
(eavesdropping). "O' dat fawth peeyod, dey's awl bumth, ethpethally
dat Nothinthki!"
One night, Noz, myself, and I think Don Pippitt, pulled a late night
Ninja trip to Evo's Westvale apartment. We stood as silently
as we could, stifling puerile smirks while hiding outside his
screen door, and listened to Evo call his cat: " Heah Tawny...heah
Tawny."
From these memories, it is quite possible that Evo: studied oratory
from Demosthenes, substituting a mouthful of Sucrets for one of pebbles.
studied the English language at Elmer Fudd University.
had a cat named Melvin.
Stay well,
Bob
P.S. This communique was written only in jest and no one should think
anything other. God bless Evo Baglini wherever he ith!
